The Ossoff campaign said its average campaign donation this quarter was $32, with nearly 98% of donations being less than $100. It also noted that he received donations from all 156 of the 159 Georgia counties.
The haul is slightly less than his $11 million haul from the first quarter. His campaign now has $15.5 million on hand.
“The Ossoff campaign is building unstoppable momentum to win next November, and the small-dollar, grassroots movement is the backbone of our victorious coalition. We’re grateful for the overwhelming support,” Ossoff campaign manager Ellen Foster said in a statement.
Senate Republicans, meanwhile, hope to flip his seat red in the midterm election. The state has flip-flopped between voting for Republicans and Democrats for president since the 2016 election, but Republicans have not won a Senate seat there since 2016.
