Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign experienced a significant surge in fundraising, raising an impressive $47 million in just 24 hours following the vice president’s debate against Donald Trump. This remarkable achievement marks one of the most successful single fundraising days for the campaign thus far.
The substantial donations, totaling $47 million, were contributed by approximately 600,000 donors. The campaign official noted that the overwhelming majority of these donations came from grassroots supporters, although the specific criteria for defining such supporters was not disclosed.
Jen O’Malley Dillon, the campaign chair, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, emphasizing that the impressive fundraising haul reflects a growing coalition of Americans rallying behind Vice President Harris’ candidacy. O’Malley Dillon underscored the critical importance of the upcoming November election, urging supporters to remain vigilant and committed to defeating Donald Trump.
Despite the positive momentum generated by the fundraising success, O’Malley Dillon cautioned against complacency, highlighting the formidable fundraising and organizing efforts of Team Trump. She emphasized the need for sustained dedication and unity among supporters to counter divisive tactics and ensure a successful outcome in the November election.
Recent reports from CNN have indicated that, despite a strong debate performance by Vice President Harris, the campaign remains cognizant of the challenges ahead. The campaign maintains a realistic outlook, acknowledging the anticipated toughness and close nature of the upcoming election, emphasizing that a single night’s performance is not sufficient to alter the overall trajectory of the race.
