MEMORANDUM

TO: Grassroots Donors
FROM: DNC Chair Jaime Harrison
RE: Six Months Out, the DNC is Strong -- and Only Getting Stronger

In 2024, the DNC is continuing its winning streak at the ballot box by spearheading efforts to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, from local office to the Oval Office. And because we've started earlier than ever before, those efforts are already paying dividends. Thanks to the hard work and commitment of the President and Vice President, our candidates, our volunteers and donors, and our staff, the DNC and state parties across the country have marshalled historic resources and built sustainable infrastructure that's notched wins up and down the ballot. And we're going to do it again in November.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's MAGA extremism has taken over the Republican Party, and it's been a disaster for his campaign, the RNC, and GOP state parties from Michigan to Arizona. At this point, state Republicans are better known for their financial problems and infighting than mobilizing voters. While the Trump campaign and the RNC kicked off 2024 with virtually no ground game and the RNC shuttered minority outreach offices, struggled to raise money, and stacked their operation with MAGA extremists and election deniers, the DNC is stronger than ever under President Biden. We're paving a path to victory to reelect the Biden-Harris ticket along with Democrats across the country.

Six months out from Election Day, here's where things stand: The DNC's historic investments in Democratic infrastructure under President Biden's leadership means that we've helped notch wins in key races AND laid a solid foundation for 2024 -- from President Biden's reelection to races up and down the ballot, nationwide.

Here are just a few ways our work is paying off:

• State parties: Democrats’ investments in state parties are far outpacing our Republican counterparts, who can’t escape intraparty drama and financial troubles. Across the 2023-24 cycle, the DNC committed to invest more than $5 million in state parties through our State Party Innovation Fund. Since President Biden took office, the DNC has increased its yearly investment in state parties by 25 percent. So far in the 2023-24 cycle, the DNC has already invested more than $4.5 million in the Red State Fund, which builds programs for critical races in traditionally Republican states.


• Outreach and organizing: So far this cycle, the DNC has run paid media in more than 100 constituency media outlets and in five languages. In 2024 so far, our organizing team has made 1.2 million calls and sent 5.4 million texts.


• Data: We have overhauled our voter file infrastructure to deliver high-quality, up-to-date voter data to campaigns. Because of our efforts, we returned more than $230,000 in reimbursements to states in 2023 and are investing more than $2 million annually in models and commercial data to better understand voters. We’ve also invested an additional $2 million for the 2024 cycle in cell phone data to help campaigns reach voters where they are, improving cell phone coverage on file from 30 percent of voters in 2016 to over 80 percent.


• Digital: Since the Biden-Harris campaign launched in April of 2023, the DNC and Team Biden-Harris Social Media teams have reached 7.4 billion impressions across @JoeBiden, @KamalaHarris, @BidenHQ, @TheDemocrats, @JaimeHarrison social media accounts, including 1.4 billion video views.
