What A DayOct 22, 2026
The FEC record shows Vote Save America's committee reported about $6.2 million in total receipts from January 2025 to October 14, 2026, which directionally supports the 'millions of dollars' part, though it does not confirm that listeners raised the money or that it was all for the 2026 midterms.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… No, wait, sorry. The thing I'm proudest of is the work we do through Vote Save America. See, we don't want our shows to only leave you feeling anxious about the state of the world; we want to give you something you can actually do about it. Just this year, our listeners have raised millions of dollars and filled thousands of volunteer shifts to help candidates and causes in the 2026 midterms, and we have no plans to slow down as we head into 2028. As far as I know, there's no other media company that does what Crooked does. …
What A Day · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The FEC committee overview reports $6,208,351.98 in total receipts for Vote Save America from January 1, 2025 to October 14, 2026, consistent with 'millions of dollars' raised in the period before the October 22, 2026 post.[1]
Supports. A resisth8.com page (unrated, March 2026) reports 278,700+ volunteer shift sign-ups, which is consistent with 'thousands of volunteer shifts' but is a cumulative figure not tied to 2026 and comes from a low-credibility source.[2]
Context. A November 2025 Politico report says the group had raised $1.5 million for the 2026 midterms at that point, showing fundraising for the midterms was underway well before the post.[3]
Context. No source directly attributes the fundraising or volunteer shifts to podcast listeners, and the FEC figure covers all committee receipts, so the listener attribution and 2026-only scope remain unconfirmed.[1][2]
