US Vice President Kamala Harris speaks at a presidential election campaign event in Atlanta, Georgia, US Jul 30, 2024. WASHINGTON: The Kamala Harris campaign said Friday it raised $310 million in July - more than double her US presidential rival Donald Trump - with the vast bulk of new cash pouring in after she replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic Party nominee.
The $310 million sum, which the Harris campaign said was the biggest haul of the 2024 cycle, includes more than $200 million in donations in the week following Biden's endorsement of his vice president as his replacement. Two-thirds of the money was sent in by first-time donors, the campaign said, calling the haul the best grassroots fundraising month in presidential history.That brings the former Republican president's cash on hand to $327 million, while Harris's war chest now stands at $377 million.
"The tremendous outpouring of support we've seen in just a short time makes clear the Harris coalition is mobilized, growing and ready to put in the work to defeat Trump this November," said campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez.Harris has seen her favorability ratings jump as she has reeled in Trump, who sparked a firestorm of outrage after he claimed falsely on Wednesday that she had decided to"turn Black" for political gain.
