what does "rushed to his cause" mean?
The phrase comes from this sentence: He has not yet said which party he will side with, but Republicans attacked him in television advertising during the race, and Democrats "rushed to his cause."

I googled it but got no answer. Does it mean that Democrats came to support him or...they doubted his intention? Or it means something else?

I'd like to thank you in advance.
