Kamala Harris has raised $200 million and signed up 170,000 new volunteers in the first week of her presidential campaign, her deputy campaign manager said on Sunday.
In a post on X, Rob Flaherty wrote: "There's 100 days til Election Day, so here's a fun one: In the week since we got started, @KamalaHarris has raised $200 million dollars."
"66% of that is from new donors. We've signed up 170,000 new volunteers," he continued. "A people-powered campaign for a people-powered presidency!"
The funds add to the roughly $95 million Harris took over from the Biden campaign. Donald Trump has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission over the transfer, saying the vice president could not legally take over the funds.
The news comes just a week after President Joe Biden announced that he was dropping out of the presidential election race and signaled his support for Harris as Democratic Party nominee.
By the following day, Harris had already secured enough delegate endorsements to win the Democratic nomination for president.
"When I announced my campaign for President, I said I intended to go out and earn this nomination," Harris said in a statement at the time.
"Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party's nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state's delegation has helped put our campaign over the top. I look forward to formally accepting the nomination soon," she added.
The Democratic National Convention will take place from August 19-22.
The vice president's favorability rating leaped to 43% from 35% over the last week, according to an ABC News/Ipsos published on Sunday.
