Hey Jack,

Hard to believe it hasn’t even been a week since President Joe Biden announced
that he would end his reelection bid, and Vice President Kamala Harris took the
baton. And I know you are all experiencing just as much joy because check out
the past week at Daily Kos, by the numbers:

* We’ve raised $587,000 and counting for Harris.
* You donated $168,102.48 to Daily Kos, which matters more than you can
imagine. My priority is to dramatically improve the visitor experience at Daily
Kos, and I’ll have some exciting news on that front in the weeks ahead. (You
know, if the news cycle gives us a moment to breathe!)
* 12,110 of you stepped up on our behalf, with 1,696 (or 14%) becoming
first-time donors! Of those, 265 are new recurring donors, each committing to
an average $8.30 per month. Consistent support is crucial for our long-term
stability.
* Traffic went from around 800,000 page views and around 180,000 unique
visitors per day in the summer and Biden doldrums, to around 1.2 million page
views and over 200,000 unique visitors per day since Sunday’s election
game-changer.
* After Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris, our community published 250
stories—compared with an average of 80-100 stories a day. This high level of
participation demonstrates the enthusiasm and engagement of our readers.
* Before the June 27 debate, you all averaged around 80 community stories per
day. From June 28 to July 20, that went up to 153 per day. And after Biden
dropped out? A whopping 191 per day!
* How about comments? Before the June 27 debate, we were at around 5,000 per
day. Between June 28 and July 20, the average was around 8,100. And after Biden
dropped out, y’all became extra chatty: 11,200 per day!
