Harris Campaign Surges with $100 Million Fundraising

Kamala Harris has raised over $100 million in the first days of her candidacy for the presidency, marking a significant shift in the 2024 fundraising landscape. Despite concerns from some major Democratic donors about the speed of her nomination, the lack of credible challengers has solidified her position as the frontrunner. Billionaire philanthropist Michael Bloomberg and Netflix's Reed Hastings have voiced a desire for a more inclusive nomination process, yet key endorsements for Harris continue to accumulate, including support from Nancy Pelosi. Following President Biden's endorsement of Harris and his withdrawal from the race, the Future Forward super PAC has also received a $150 million boost to aid her campaign. The Democratic Party now faces the challenge of unifying behind Harris amidst calls from some donors for a deliberative approach to the nomination process. Meanwhile, Trump's fundraising efforts remain strong, but the recent surge for Harris has shifted momentum back towards the Democrats.
