In 2020, small donors spoke louder than ever. Donors giving $200 or less accounted for 23% of total fundraising in 2020, up from 15% in 2016. https://t.co/9iNvkfiEWo https://t.co/AIg4lIedHX — PolitiTweet.org

One major change seen in the 2020 election cycle: Donors who had previously been on the sidelines — particularly women — jumped into the fray. Women accounted for 45% of donations of $200 or more and 35% of total fundraising. https://t.co/9iNvkf144Q — PolitiTweet.org
