Vice President Kamala Harris recently held her first fundraiser as the Democrats' likely White House nominee in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The event was a resounding success, with Harris expected to raise over $1.4 million from an audience of approximately 800 attendees. This amount far exceeded the original goal set for the fundraiser before President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign.
The fundraiser featured prominent figures in the Democratic Party, including musician James Taylor, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, former Governor Deval Patrick, and Representative Richie Neal. The support from these influential individuals helped boost the fundraising efforts for Harris.
Following Biden's decision to withdraw from the race, Harris experienced a surge in donations, receiving over $100 million in contributions within the first 48 hours. This remarkable achievement set a new presidential record and demonstrated strong support for Harris's candidacy.
Harris's campaign team expressed gratitude for the continuous support and generous contributions from donors. The successful fundraiser in Massachusetts further solidified Harris's position as a formidable candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
