The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said it saw its best fundraising period of the year last week, bringing in over half a million dollars after the Supreme Court limited the scope of the Voting Rights Act.

House Democrats’ campaign arm raised about $522,000 in the roughly 48 hours between the court issuing the ruling Wednesday and Friday morning at 10 a.m., the group told CQ Roll Call. 

“Republicans – with the help of this conservative Supreme Court – are attempting to rig the midterms so that they can stay in power,” DCCC spokesperson Courtney Rice said in a statement. “But just like their backfiring redistricting scheme, this will also fail.”

According to the DCCC, 10 percent of the nearly 23,000 contributions following the ruling came from people who had not previously given to the committee. The average donation was $22.75.

Recent federal filings showed the DCCC trailing its Republican counterpart, the National Republican Congressional Committee, in available cash at the end of March, with $70 million banked compared with the NRCC’s $78 million. 

The fundraising swell came after the Supreme Court invalidated Louisiana’s congressional map last week in a high-profile ruling that has set off a redistricting frenzy across several Southern states.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee have both called special sessions this week for their respective legislatures to revisit their congressional maps. Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has sought to postpone the state’s House primaries, which were set for May 16, although voters are challenging that move in court. 

Still, the timing of the ruling may limit its potential impact on redistricting ahead of the November elections. But several states are eyeing redraws of their congressional maps for the 2028 elections, potentially sparking another cycle of uncertainty around district lines. 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced Monday that fellow New York Rep. Joseph D. Morelle will meet with state leaders on Tuesday to discuss redrawing the state’s congressional map, which likely wouldn’t take effect until the 2028 elections. 

And Democrats in Colorado have already begun an effort to redraw their state’s House map ahead of 2028.  

On the Republican side, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has reportedly said his state should adopt a new map ahead of the 2028 elections. 

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves had already announced a special session to reconsider the states’ judicial lines in the case of a Supreme Court ruling on the VRA. But the Magnolia State already held its congressional primaries this year.
