Vice President Kamala Harris has raised $81 million in the first 24 hours since she was announced as a presidential candidate. Her campaign called it a record.
The New York Times, AP, and Bloomberg wrote about it.
Harris’s representatives said that 880,000 donors contributed to her campaign on the first day and 43,000 of them agreed to make regular contributions.
The money raised will give Kamala Harris the opportunity to compete with Donald Trump, who has been receiving large sums of money in recent weeks. He raised $50 million in the first 24 hours of his campaign.
Thanks to the support of US President Joe Biden, Kamala Harris’s campaign has probably “inherited” tens of millions of dollars that his team had previously raised. At the end of June, the Biden-Harris campaign reported almost $96 million in cash in the bank for the race.
On Sunday, July 21, the Biden-Harris campaign filed new documents with the Federal Election Commission, indicating that Kamala Harris is the primary candidate of the Democratic Party.
