Kamala Harris fundraising record

Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign achieved a historic fundraising milestone, raising $81 million within 24 hours following President Joe Biden's endorsement and withdrawal from the race. This total, which her team claims as the largest single-day fundraising amount in U.S. presidential history, adds to her existing war chest of nearly $250 million for the election cycle. The campaign received support from over 888,000 grassroots donors, with a significant portion being first-time contributors. Additionally, the Democratic super PAC Future Forward reported securing $150 million in commitments from high-profile donors, showcasing a swift consolidation of support behind Harris. Despite some skepticism from key donors, Harris's campaign appears well-positioned to secure the Democratic nomination, bolstered by endorsements from prominent figures like California Governor Gavin Newsom. As fundraising efforts ramp up, the campaign emphasizes its broad coalition of supporters and renewed enthusiasm among donors.
