On Friday, Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign announced it raised an astounding $310 million dollars in July. While that figure includes money raised by President Joe Biden’s campaign before he ended his reelection campaign on July 21, their combined fundraising has obliterated Donald Trump’s, coming in at over twice the $138.7 million raised by the Trump campaign during the same month. The Associated Press reports that the Harris campaign now has $377 million in cash on hand, which the campaign says is “the most for any presidential candidate at this point in the cycle”—and $50 million more than Trump.
The Democratic National Committee’s virtual roll call kicked off on Thursday, with Harris as the only candidate to qualify. The DNC already deemed her the “presumptive nominee” this past Tuesday, and by the end of this upcoming Monday, when the results are announced, that “presumptive” will be gone.
Harris is also expected to announce her running mate by next Tuesday. Selecting a running mate usually generates fresh enthusiasm in a ticket (unless that choice is Sen. JD Vance, Donald Trump’s disastrous pick), but even before Harris makes her announcement, everything seems to be moving her way.
