This influx of support is attributed\u200d to a renewed\u2062 excitement among Democrats\u200c since Harris\u2019s campaign \u2063kickoff, \u2064which\u200d was further\u2062 highlighted by her record-setting $81 million fundraising within 24 hours of Biden&#8217;s announcement. Wilson noted that her\u2062 current fundraising totals exceed \u2063those of any previous \u2062Democratic challenger \u200cto Jordan during his\u200c 17 years in \u2062office. Although Jordan has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-leadership-fund-announces-28-million-ad-buy-for-jd-vance-in-ohio\/\" title=\"Senate Leadership Fund Announces  Million Ad Buy for JD Vance in Ohio\">significant fundraising advantage<\/a>, Wilson aims to leverage\u2062 the increased\u200d enthusiasm among Democratic voters to improve her chances in a \u200bdistrict \u2062typically\u200b seen as non-competitive. Wilson \u200cpreviously ran against Jordan in 2022 but lost by nearly 40 percentage points.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jim Jordan opponent reaches $1 million mark amid Kamala Harris excitement<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1709561\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE &mdash;<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democrat<\/a> Tamie Wilson raised $1 million in her uphill battle against House Judiciary Committee Chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jim-jordan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jim Jordan<\/a> (R-OH) in Ohio&rsquo;s 4th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p>She said she tipped the $1 million mark thanks to a fundraising bump of about $178,000 raised in July through mid-August that coincided with President Joe Biden ending his reelection bid. Until that point, she had raised nearly $822,000 this election cycle since January 2023 but at a slower pace. <\/p>\n<p>Democratic excitement over Vice President Kamala Harris&rsquo;s 2024 campaign appears to have a trickle-down effect on fellow down-ballot Democrats, including Wilson in a red disrict. The Ohio Democrat said her campaign raised $100,000 in two days after Biden exited the race and endorsed Harris.&nbsp;Harris herself smashed presidential fundraising records by bringing in $81 million in the 24 hours after Biden&rsquo;s announcement on July 21.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;With Kamala entering the race, that has made a huge surge in our fundraising. That has been an absolute blessing,&rdquo; Wilson told the <em>Washington Examiner <\/em>before pivoting to discussing Biden&rsquo;s exit. &ldquo;It was such a blessing that he got out and it&rsquo;s really just energized our base.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wilson said she&rsquo;s now raised more than any other Democrat who has challenged Jordan in his 17-year career in Congress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jordan&rsquo;s decision not to vote for the CHIPS Act, which will enable Intel to move forward in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-claimed-chips-act-would-create-1m-construction-jobs-actual-number-is-around-6000\/\" title=\"Biden Claimed CHIPs Act Would Create 1M Construction Jobs, Actual Number Is Around 6,000\">building semiconductor factories<\/a> in Ohio, remains one of the criticisms Wilson has levied.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wilson ran against Jordan during the 2022 midterms but lost the race by nearly 40 percentage points. The Ohio congressman vastly outraised his Democratic rival, raking in nearly $14 million to Wilson&rsquo;s $170,439, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/races\/candidates?cycle=2022&amp;id=OH04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Open Secrets<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As of June, Jordan has raised more than $10.5 million with $10.3 million cash on hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although the district is not considered a competitive race, the uptick in Wilson&rsquo;s fundraising could indicate a changed landscape from just two years ago. Democrats, once demoralized over Biden&rsquo;s health are now galvanized around Harris&rsquo;s candidacy, and that may help the party put up a better fight in the battle for control of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This campaign, it&rsquo;s on fire. It&rsquo;s just it&rsquo;s completely out of control,&rdquo; said Wilson. &ldquo;Everyone is energized about it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Wilson, an Ohio native, defeated fellow Democrat Steve Thomas during the March primary to take on Jordan. She will need to win over independents in the district, manufacturing workers, and veterans who comprise key segments in the 4th district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> contacted the Jordan campaign for comment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jordan has been an ally of President Donald Trump in Congress and aside from being chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee, he leads the House Weaponization Committee that was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/998190\/house-gops-weaponization-committee-announces-first-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"formed in 2023\">formed in 2023<\/a> to investigate allegations of bias at the Justice Department, the intelligence community, and other federal departments that conservatives accuse of working to silence Republicans. <\/p>\n<p>He&rsquo;s gone on offense against the Biden administration with subpoena power and has been a frequent public defender of Trump.

This achievement was bolstered by a surge of approximately $178,000 raised between July and mid-August, which coincided with President Joe Biden&#8217;s withdrawal from the 2024 race. Prior to this boost, Wilson had collected nearly $822,000 since January 2023 at a slower pace. The enthusiasm surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s candidacy seems to be positively impacting down-ballot Democrats like Wilson, even in a traditionally Republican district. Following Biden&#8217;s exit and endorsement of Harris, Wilson reported raising $100,000 within just two days. Harris herself set presidential fundraising records by amassing $81 million within 24 hours after Biden\u2019s announcement on July 21.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson expressed that Harris entering the race significantly energized her fundraising efforts: \u201cWith Kamala entering the race, that has made a huge surge in our fundraising. That has been an absolute blessing,\u201d she told the Washington Examiner while also discussing Biden\u2019s departure from the race as an energizing factor for her campaign base.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson noted that she has now raised more funds than any other Democrat who has previously challenged Jordan during his 17 years in Congress. One of her criticisms of Jordan is his decision not to support the CHIPS Act aimed at facilitating Intel&#8217;s semiconductor factory construction in Ohio. In their previous matchup during the 2022 midterms, Wilson lost to Jordan by nearly 40 percentage points; he outpaced her significantly in fundraising with almost $14 million compared to her $170,439.<\/p>\n<p>As of June this year, Jordan had raised over $10.5 million and maintained about $10.3 million cash on hand. Although Ohio\u2019s Fourth Congressional District is not viewed as competitive\u2014rated solidly Republican with an R+20 designation\u2014the increase in Wilson\u2019s contributions suggests potential shifts since their last election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats who were previously disheartened by concerns over Biden&#8217;s health are now rallying around Harris\u2019s candidacy which could enhance their chances for better performance as they vie for control of Congress moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis campaign is on fire; it\u2019s completely out of control,\u201d said Wilson enthusiastically about her current momentum.<\/p>\n<p>An Ohio native herself, she won against fellow Democrat Steve Thomas during March primaries to challenge Jordan and will need to appeal to independents along with key demographics such as manufacturing workers and veterans within the district.<br \/>\nThe Washington Examiner reached out for comments from Jordan&#8217;s campaign regarding these developments.<br \/>\nJordan remains closely aligned with former President Donald Trump and chairs both the influential Judiciary Committee and leads a newly formed House Weaponization Committee investigating alleged biases within federal agencies against conservatives while frequently defending Trump publicly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2658,"featured_media":2323584,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Tamie-Wilson-.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33926,34059,23098,32438,36457],"class_list":["post-2323583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-campaign-finance","tag-election-2024","tag-jim-jordan","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-rivalry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Tamie-Wilson-.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2323583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2323583\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2323584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2323583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2323583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2323583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
