ActBlue raised $586 million for Democratic candidates and causes in the second quarter of 2026, the platform's largest quarter on record, the Wail confirmed Wednesday from filings and reports tracked by Political Wire.

The figure surpasses previous single-quarter highs for the small-dollar fundraising processor and arrives as political forecasters project the 2026 midterm elections will be the most expensive in U.S. history.

ActBlue routes donations from individual contributors directly to candidates, party committees, and progressive organizations. The platform processed funds for thousands of races at the federal, state, and local levels during the quarter.

The record haul reflects elevated donor activity on the Democratic side heading into a cycle in which control of both the House and Senate is contested. Competitive Senate seats in battleground states have drawn sustained small-dollar attention since early spring.

WinRed, the Republican equivalent, had not reported its Q2 total as of Wednesday. Federal campaign finance reports for the quarter are due to the Federal Election Commission by July 15.

Full FEC disclosures from candidates and committees are expected by the July 15 deadline, when a clearer picture of the overall money race will emerge.
