Kamala Harris Raised 1/3 Of A Billion Dollars In August.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign increased its already blistering fundraising pace last month, bringing in $361 million in August – easily swamping the $130 million raised by her Republican rival last month and giving the Democrat a whopping $404 million in cash reserves for the final, two-month sprint to Election Day, her campaign aides announced Friday.
The cash stockpiled across Harris’ affiliated committees tops the $295 million that Trump’s political operation said it had available in its bank accounts and underscores how much Harris’ historic and late-breaking candidacy has energized donors and transformed the 2024 race. The $361 million is by far the best monthly haul for either party this cycle.
If this rate continues, Harris is poised to collect more than $1 billion in the condensed campaign window between becoming the party’s de facto nominee in late July and Election Day. She’s already raised more than $615 million since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid on July 21, her campaign noted Friday. By Fredreka Schouten, CNN
Money makes the political world go round and VP Harris is able to spin the globe with the fundraising prowess she has demonstrated. The money raised will certainly go far in her quest to enter the White House in 2025 as the President of the United States. The next 2 months are certainly fraught with political mine fields that can easily derail a campaign but at least for now she is in the lead when it comes to money and that is what matters in American politics. Second only to the actually candidate running for office.
