Kamala Harris's Election Fundraising Reaches Historic $500 Million Threshold
Kamala Harris's Fundraising Surge
Kamala Harris has raised over $500 million since entering the presidential race, illustrating a remarkable support base among donors that has intensified during the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
- Fundraising Total: $540 million
- Raised During DNC: $82 million
- Coalition includes donations to the campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and joint fundraising efforts.
Grassroots Support and Future Prospects
According to campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon, the recent fundraising activity is a record-setting achievement in campaign history. Notably, there have been unprecedented grassroots donations, with one-third stemming from new contributors, a significant portion of whom are young voters and women.
- Harris ended July with $220 million in cash on hand.
- Contrarily, Trump’s campaign had $151 million.
- The former president is still reliant on megadonors.
This surge has shifted some political momentum, as Trump faces ongoing challenges in keeping pace with Harris's fundraising success, particularly following the DNC.
