Crooked Media raises $9 million for Senate Democrats after Justice Ginsburg's death.
Hours after Justice Ginsburgs death, Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, pledged that whomever Mr. Trump picked to replace her would receive a confirmation vote. President Trumps nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate, he said in a statement.
Democratic donors flooded into at least one page dedicated to key Senate races, called Get Mitch or Die Trying. The page, created by the progressive group Crooked Media, had raised about $9 million in new donations since Justice Ginsburgs death was announced, as of noon on Saturday, and will divide the proceeds between 13 different Democrats running for Senate this year.
The conventional wisdom is that the Supreme Court only motivates Republicans, but these fund-raising totals demonstrate that that has changed, said Tommy Vietor, a founder of Crooked Media and a veteran of the Obama administration.
