Donors who buoyed Democrats’ causes throughout the Trump years are disengaging.
It was probably inevitable that left-leaning fundraising would fall once the immediate crisis of Donald Trump’s presidency ended.As we stumble toward another existential election, panic is setting in among some progressive groups because the donors who buoyed them throughout the Trump years are disengaging.
This isn’t just about political operatives losing their jobs: It means that organizations that should be building up their turnout operations for next year are instead having to downsize. And it speaks to a mood of liberal apathy and disenchantment that Democrats can’t afford before another grueling election. “To the degree that there isn’t enough organic enthusiasm, we have to generate it,” Wimsatt said. That’s hard to do when you’re broke.
Yet, if liberal lassitude is understandable, it’s also alarming, because we’re going to have to fend off Trump once again. And even if some of the pullback is cyclical, some seems to be rooted in a more enduring malaise. “There was a huge amount of additional grassroots funding in the Trump era, because people were so scared,” said Max Berger, co-founder of progressive groups such as If Not Now and the Momentum Training Institute.
