An online Democratic fundraising platform, ActBlue, made headlines by announcing a significant fundraising achievement during Vice President Kamala Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention. The platform reported a remarkable $7.2 million in donations pouring in between 11 p.m. and midnight ET on the night of the speech.
ActBlue further revealed that it had raised over $100 million for Democratic-aligned campaigns in the week leading up to and during the convention. This substantial financial support underscores the enthusiasm and backing for the Democratic cause among donors.
Vice President Kamala Harris used her speech to connect with voters and formally accepted the party's nomination for the presidential candidacy. During her address, she outlined her policy stances on key issues such as the economy, immigration, and reproductive rights, drawing a clear contrast between her platform and that of her opponent, former President Donald Trump.
Notably, Vice President Harris holds the distinction of being the first Black woman and the first Asian American to lead a major-party ticket, marking a historic moment in American politics.
