For Warnock/ DNC or Warnock/Schiff?
Is this some sort of contribution rule?

Why would I be asked to make "split donations" (Original Post)

(149,657 posts)1. I have no idea why they do this. It's not a contribution rule.
I got a pitch like that from Schiff, and I resent the idea that I have to contribute to him as well as Warnock.
So I went into the email and made some changes. I tried to make my contribution to Schiff to zero! It wouldn't let me! So I'm giving him $10 and more to Warnock.
That got accepted. I also limited the time for the money to go to Warnock.

without a partner. Seems so odd.

corner
I just donate directly to him through Act Blue

The DNC's 2022 Congressional Split Series helps fundraise for and raise awareness around down-ballot Democrats in some of the most important races across the country. When you make a split donation to the DNC, your donation will not only benefit folks on the ballot this cycle -- it will also help create the lasting Democratic infrastructure Democrats need to win up and down the ballot in years to come.
When organizations of high-profile politicians spotlight a lesser-known figure in their email blasts, donors get a new name to target with their giving, the less-famous candidates get a fundraising boost, and the big name is supporting a candidate who is allied with their vision.

and at other times did separate donations to them.
