Democrat Kamala Harris has managed to raise $540 million for her presidential campaign since it began just over a month ago. This fundraising milestone includes a significant influx of $82 million received during the Democratic National Convention last week, according to a statement from his campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon. The campaign claims this achievement represents the largest amount raised by any presidential campaign in such a short period of time.
The increase in donations coincides with Harris’ rise as a presidential candidate, which began on July 21 after President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race. Biden’s departure came after a significant stumble during a debate with Republican Donald Trump on June 27, which raised concerns among Democrats about his cognitive ability.
Harris’s campaign has taken off since then, with even President Trump finding it difficult to keep the media’s focus on him. The Democratic candidate, along with her current presidential running mate, Tim Walz, is taking a bus trip to Georgia, a key battleground state in the upcoming November 5 election.
The campaign’s financial success is seen as an indicator of Democrats’ enthusiasm for Harris’ candidacy. The former vice president’s campaign will use these funds in the crucial weeks leading up to the election as they engage with voters and galvanize support across the country.
