Democrats are shattering records and raising massive sums of cash as they gear up for the 2026 midterms, with eyes on flipping both the House and the Senate.

ActBlue, the platform used by Democratic candidates and causes, announced that it raised $568 million from January through March, the strongest first quarter fundraising in its history, just one more sign of a potential blue wave this fall. The average donation was just $38.
It included $391 million for federal campaigns ahead of the midterms and $119 million for state and local candidates.
