Kamala Harris raised an unprecedented haul of about $500 million in the first month of her candidacy, according to a report.
Four sources told Reuters the colossal amount had come in just four weeks since she replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket on July 21. In that time, the vice president has already smashed fundraising records as donors have sought to give her campaign more firepower in a tight race against Donald Trump.
The Harris campaign said it raised $200 million in the first week following Biden’s withdrawal from the race, a dramatic reversal of the party’s fundraising fortunes during the closing stages of Biden’s candidacy. That $200 million figure was also more than the $138.7 million Trump’s campaign said it raised in the entirety of July.
