Kamala Harris’ Campaign Raised $310 Million In July, More Than Double That Of Donald Trump

Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee raised $310 million in July, a record amount and more than double what her rival Donald Trump and the Republican party collected.

The Harris campaign said that it had $377 million cash on hand.

Trump’s campaign announced earlier this week that it had raised $139 million, and had $327 million cash on hand.

The Harris figure includes $200 million raised in the week following President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the race and endorse his vice president. Harris is not yet officially the Democratic nominee, but a virtual delegate process is now taking place that will make her selection official as the party’s standard bearer.

The Harris campaign said that 2/3 of the fundraising figure came from first-time donors, a signal of the dramatic uptick in enthusiasm for her campaign. The amount raised was for the Harris campaign as well as for the Democratic National Committee. The huge figure also is notable given that, earlier in the month, many large donors had said they withhold contributions as Biden stayed in the race.
