MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow, reacting to Vice President Kamala Harris’ record fundraising haul in the 24 hours since President Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 ticket and endorsed her to be his successor, noted that the amount surpassed what Donald Trump raised after becoming a criminal earlier this year.
She then added cheekily that Harris “didn’t have to commit any felonies at all to do it.”
In a press release Monday afternoon, Harris’ campaign announced $81 million in donations from more than 880,000 individual donors—about 60 percent of whom were first-time givers in the 2024 campaign.
