Vice President Kamala Harris’ Campaign Raises $200 Million in Fundraising Surge

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been on fire since she emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee last week, raising an impressive $200 million in donations. The campaign announced this staggering fundraising total on Sunday, with 66% of the donations coming from first-time contributors in the 2024 election cycle. This surge in support came after President Joe Biden endorsed Harris and announced his exit from the race.

In addition to the financial support, over 170,000 volunteers have signed up to help the Harris campaign with various efforts, such as phone banking and canvassing. With Election Day just 100 days away, the campaign is gearing up for a close race that will likely be decided by a small number of voters in key states.

Harris recently held a successful fundraiser in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, which was initially expected to raise $400,000 but ended up bringing in an impressive $1.4 million. Democratic heavyweights like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the Obamas have all thrown their support behind Harris, solidifying her position as the party’s frontrunner.

Despite the momentum and energy surrounding her campaign, Harris remains humble, calling herself the “underdog” in the race. With the support of key Democratic figures, a strong fundraising base, and a growing volunteer network, Harris is confident that her campaign is gaining momentum as the election draws near.
