Ms Rachel, who teaches toddlers on YouTube, has given $22,500 (about £16,900) to six progressive and Democratic campaigns since 2024, filings show. The biggest sums went to three New York hopefuls: Cameron Kasky, Yuh-Line Niou, and Brad Lander. Kamala Harris and Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed got less, and one campaign refunded $1,500.
The timing matters. Three people who got Ms Rachel donations, including Lander and El-Sayed, face voters in the US midterms on Tuesday 3 November, just over two weeks away. Her brand also reaches parents through Netflix shows, Penguin Random House books, and Spin Master toys for toddlers.
