ActBlue received a record $91.4 million in the 28 hours following Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, the Democratic donation-processing site confirmed to Axios late Saturday.
Why it matters via the New York Times: "The unprecedented outpouring shows the power of a looming Supreme Court confirmation fight to motivate Democratic donors."
By the numbers: Donors gave 1.5 million contributions from 8 p.m. ET Friday, through the end of Saturday, ActBlue said.
- Donors set the record for dollars raised in one day on Saturday, which drew in $70.6 million from 1.2 million contributions.
- After setting a record for dollars raised in one hour on Friday, from 9-9:59 p.m., donors broke the record again during the 10:00-10:59 p.m. hour, "which drew in $6.3 million," ActBlue said.
