Kamala Harris Campaign Raises Over $1 Billion

Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign has achieved a historic fundraising milestone by raising nearly $1 billion just 80 days after her official declaration on August 6. This figure surpasses the approximately $853 million raised by former President Donald Trump throughout 2024, highlighting Harris's rapid fundraising success as she builds a robust campaign infrastructure. Despite her campaign's impressive numbers, officials have opted not to disclose September's total to avoid complacency among supporters. Harris's campaign has raised $678.2 million directly and an additional $235.5 million from external sources, while Trump's Super PACs have collectively raised $329.4 million. The speed of Harris's fundraising is unprecedented, with experts noting that no candidate has reached such a total so quickly. However, the campaign remains vigilant about the potential impact of billionaire-funded Republican Super PACs as the election approaches.
