Vice President Kamala Harris returned to her roots in California’s San Francisco Bay Area and raised over $12 million in a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel.
After replacing President Biden on the 2024 Democratic ticket, Harris’s fundraising has surged, surpassing former President Trump’s numbers. Her recent naming of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate also led to a spike in campaign contributions.
Harris and Walz embarked on a campaign trail through key battleground states, drawing large crowds and volunteer sign-ups. Pelosi’s introduction of Harris at the fundraiser highlighted the vice president’s California connection and her achievements.
In the race against Trump, Harris acknowledged the need for hard work and underscored the critical nature of the moment. Pelosi’s influence was pivotal in Biden endorsing Harris as his replacement after a lackluster debate performance.
Harris’s childhood in Oakland and her rise through the legal and political ranks in California resonated with attendees, who paid up to $500,000 for event tickets.
