Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has raised $200 million since she emerged as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee last week.
According to foreign media, the campaign team, which announced its latest fundraising totals on Sunday, said the bulk of the donations — 66% — came from first-time contributors in the 2024 election cycle and were made after President Joe Biden announced his departure from the race.
Over 170,000 volunteers have also signed up to help Harris’ campaign as Election Day is 100 days away.
Harris campaigned in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on Saturday, drawing hundreds of people to a fundraiser that was organized when Biden was still leading the Democratic race.
The fundraiser was originally expected to raise $400,000, but ended up bringing in about $1.4 million, according to the campaign.
Harris quickly picked up Democratic support after Biden, whose candidacy faltered after his June 27 debate performance against Trump, dropped out of the race.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former House Minority Leader Jim Clyburn, former President Bill Clinton and former -Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was quick to announce their support.
Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama announced their support on Friday.
