The Harris campaign has achieved a significant fundraising milestone by raising nearly $500 million in the month following President Joe Biden's exit from the race and his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. This substantial amount serves as a testament to the campaign's fundraising prowess as it enters the final 77 days leading up to the election.
According to a campaign official, Harris' team is on track to surpass the $500 million mark in the near future, underscoring the strong financial support behind the campaign. This achievement marks a notable shift in fortunes for Harris, as prior to Biden's decision to withdraw on July 21, Democratic donors had expressed doubts about the president's chances, resulting in a reluctance to contribute significant funds and host planned fundraising events.
Following Biden's departure, Harris' campaign experienced a surge in donations, raising over $200 million within the first week of her candidacy. This rapid influx of financial support not only demonstrates Harris' growing appeal among donors but also highlights the confidence and enthusiasm surrounding her candidacy.
