Volunteers and donations surge into Democratic campaigns with Harris atop the ticket

Congressional Democrats in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and beyond are seeing an outpouring of volunteers to help Vice President Kamala Harris and counter Republican Donald Trump. Weeks of despair among Democrats — worries that President Joe Biden would lose the White House and take down Congress with him — disappeared instantly. Lawmakers say people started showing up asking how they could help without prompting and congressional campaign committees have seen record-setting $1 million days for online donations. The turnaround revives the party’s hope for retaking the House and holding its Senate majority. Republicans say it's a short-lived honeymoon that will fade as they work to portray Harris as more liberal than Biden.
