The Resistance Fights Back By Raising Half A Million Dollars In 24 Hours To Unseat Republicans

As Republicans pat each other on the back during their post-health care vote frat party on Capitol Hill, Americans in the real world are quickly mobilizing to defeat vulnerable GOP candidates who voted in favor the disastrous legislation.

According to a tweet from progressive group Swing Left, the liberal organization has raised a whopping $500,000 in 24 hours to defeat Republicans in 2018.

While this is an impressive haul in such a short period of time, it’s showing no signs of letting up.

As The Hill noted on Thursday, $150,000 of the half a million total poured in during the first hour following today’s vote in the House of Representatives. Over the course of the next several days, the progressive organization is likely to raise hundreds of thousands more in support of Democratic candidates in competitive districts.
