Harris campaign is raising lots of money in race against Trump after Biden dropped out.
Vice President Kamala Harris made waves in the political world with a monumental fundraising effort that brought in a staggering $100 million over the course of just one day. The fundraising blitz began on Sunday afternoon, right after President Biden threw his support behind Harris to succeed him as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
The Harris campaign was quick to point out that this massive fundraising haul came from more than 1.1 million unique donors, with 62% of them being first-time contributors. This surge in donations was touted as the “largest 24-hour raise in presidential history,” showcasing the groundswell of support behind Harris.
While the campaign did not provide a detailed breakdown of where the donations originated from, it was highlighted that the funds came from a combination of sources, including online small-dollar donations and contributions from top-dollar donors. The money raised was a joint effort between the campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and various fundraising committees.
The historic fundraising success was celebrated by campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz, who emphasized that the outpouring of support demonstrated the grassroots energy and enthusiasm that can lead to electoral victories. The diverse coalition coming together to support Harris’s campaign is a promising sign for the upcoming election.
Following Biden’s endorsement, the Democratic Party quickly rallied behind Harris, with a flurry of endorsements from governors, senators, House members, and other party leaders. Harris wasted no time in securing the nomination by garnering support from a majority of the nearly 4,000 delegates to the Democratic National Convention, set to begin in August in Chicago.
Biden’s decision to suspend his campaign was influenced by mounting pressure within the party, particularly after a lackluster debate performance that raised questions about his ability to continue serving as president. The fundraising success achieved by Harris in the wake of Biden’s withdrawal will help replenish the campaign war chest and solidify her position as the party’s nominee.
Despite facing fundraising challenges earlier in the year, Harris’s campaign now stands in a strong position to compete with the Republican Party. The momentum generated by the fundraising efforts has put Harris on a path towards charting her own course in the presidential race, positioning her as a formidable opponent to face off against Donald Trump.
The fundraising emails and text messages sent out by the Harris campaign reflect a sense of urgency and determination to make history. Harris’s call for support resonates with donors, who have the opportunity to be part of a transformative moment in American politics.
