The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC)
fundraising has skyrocketed during Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, according to a Tuesday Politico report.
According to a Politico report, on September 29, two days after Kavanaugh’s latest hearing, and one day after Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) convinced fellow Republicans to back an FBI investigation of Kavanaugh, the NRCC’s fundraising skyrocketed.
In response to the text,
the number of donations the NRCC received increased by 175 percent,
the amount of money raised grew by 194 percent,
the average gift grew by 111 percent, and
the average raised off of the text grew by 226 percent.
The Politico article follows separate reports from Republican strategists who contended that the Kavanaugh confirmation process has dropped a “grenade into the electorate,” energizing the Republican base.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that Republicans have nearly matched Democrat interest in the midterm election.
