Kamala Harris Raises $12M at SF Fundraiser

Vice President Kamala Harris raised $12 million at a sold-out fundraiser in San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel, attended by nearly 700 people, including key California Democratic leaders like Gov. Gavin Newsom and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The event capped a week-long tour of swing states with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, although Walz did not attend the fundraiser. Harris emphasized the importance of healthcare, abortion access, and LGBT+ rights, while Pelosi highlighted the urgency of the upcoming election. The Harris-Walz campaign has seen substantial fundraising success, including $36 million within 24 hours of announcing Walz as the running mate. The event also faced protests against U.S. support for Israel over the Gaza conflict.
