Harris Outpaces Trump in Fundraising, Race Tightens

Vice President Kamala Harris has significantly outpaced former President Donald Trump in fundraising since entering the presidential race, with her campaign raising $678.2 million compared to Trump's $309.2 million by the end of August. Harris's cash-on-hand advantage is $235.5 million versus Trump's $134.6 million, allowing her to outspend Trump by nearly three-to-one, with her campaign spending an average of $7.5 million daily in August. This financial edge has enabled Harris to increase her advertising budget and target swing states more aggressively. Polls indicate a close race, with Harris narrowing Trump's lead, and she has received notable endorsements, including from Scientific American. Despite the financial disparity, the outcome remains uncertain, with both campaigns preparing for the final stretch to the general election.
