Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign and its associated political committees raised $1 billion since she became the Democratic nominee in July.
Following her assumption of the candidacy on July 21, contributions to her campaign and affiliated political action committees surged at an extraordinary rate. On the very day she was named the candidate, Harris brought in $25 million and quickly accumulated $500 million within just a month.
In comparison, former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party secured $130 million in August, ending that month with $295 million in cash reserves. Meanwhile, Harris and the Democrats reported a total of $404 million in funds available.
Despite the significant fundraising efforts, recent polling from Reuters/Ipsos indicates that Harris' lead over Trump has narrowed nationally, making the race highly competitive in various key states.
