Washington, Sep 6: US Vice President Kamala Harris raised well more than double what former President Donald Trump took in from donors in August, her campaign announced Friday, saying it raised USD 361 million from nearly 3 million donors in her first full month as a candidate.
Trump’s team had announced Wednesday he brought in USD 130 million over the same period. Harris’ team says it ended the month with USD 404 million on hand for the final sprint to Election Day, USD 109 million more than Trump’s campaign says it had at the end of August.
The massive Harris war chest is being used to fund a USD 370 million paid media effort for the final two months of the campaign, and to pay for its more than 2,000 field staff spread through more than 310 offices in battleground states.
Harris’ fundraising builds on the USD 310 million she raised in July, the overwhelming majority of which came in after she took over President Joe Biden’s campaign after he dropped out that month.
The ticket swap has helped the Democratic party reverse the fundraising edge Trump had developed in the prior months, when voter doubts about Biden’s fitness for another term dampened donor – and voter – enthusiasm. (AP)
