Jaime Harrison Raises a Record $57 as He Challenges Lindsey Graham

Jaime Harrison, the Democrat challenging Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, raised an astonishing $57 million in the third quarter of 2020, the highest quarterly fund-raising total for any Senate candidate in United States history.

Mr. Harrison did not so much break the record as shatter it: Before this year, the record was $38 million...raised by former Representative Beto O’Rourke...during his challenge to Senator Ted Lucifer in 2018.

...Mr. Harrison’s quarterly total is more than double what Mr. Graham reported raising in the previous six quarters combined.

...

...Mr. Harrison’s enormous fund-raising total, a majority of which came from out-of-state donors, speaks to the intense Democratic energy nationwide...

It also speaks to Democratic voters’ specific anger at Mr. Graham

You got that right, Maggie (Astor). I was a Lindsey fan. I loved the Three Amigos. But since 2016 Lindsey has treated South Carolina people and Democratic friendlies like me like a plantation owner treats his slaves. It doesn't matter what he says or does, the slaves have no power. I have never felt so burned politically as I do about Graham. Well, bottom rail on top this time, Jaime Harrison just may whip cracker Graham's ass.
