Powerhouse Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party boasted a $310 million fundraising haul for July, well above the $138.7 million raised by Republican former President Donald Trump. This surge in donations indicates a growing confidence in President Joe Biden’s chances for re-election, with Harris leading the charge.
Harris’ campaign now has $377 million in cash on hand, the most for any presidential candidate at this point in the election cycle, compared to Trump’s $327 million. With an upcoming announcement of her running mate and the Democratic convention on the horizon, Harris is poised to solidify her position as the first woman of color nominated for president by a major political party.
Bolstered by a diverse base of donors, including groups like Black Women for Harris and Latinas for Harris, the campaign is gaining momentum with 3 million donors and 170,000 new volunteers. The narrative is shifting as Harris intensifies her criticism of Trump and delves into personal and professional storytelling on the campaign trail.
