Democratic candidates for Congress have raised a record-shattering $1 billion this election

Actor Mark Ruffalo, among an array of artists who’ve organized a group to boost turnout this year, believes that the GOP’s victory in 2016 will trigger a voter swing to the left. “For every action, there is a reaction of equal strength. It’s the law of physics,” he says.
