WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrat Kamala Harris has raised $540 million in little greater than a month since she started her race for U.S. president, with a surge of donations flowing in in the course of the Democratic Nationwide Conference final week, her marketing campaign mentioned on Sunday.
A memo launched by Harris’ marketing campaign supervisor, Jen O’Malley Dillon, mentioned the $540 million raised included $82 million that got here in throughout conference week and is an indication of Democratic enthusiasm for her candidacy.
“This is the most ever for any presidential campaign in this time span,” she mentioned.
Vice President Harris grew to become a candidate for president on July 21 when President Joe Biden stepped apart beneath stress from fellow Democrats involved about his cognitive means after he stumbled throughout a June 27 debate towards Republican Donald Trump.
The Harris candidacy has generated momentum that has put Trump on the defensive and he has struggled to take care of the media highlight on him.
Harris and her vice presidential working mate, Tim Walz, take their marketing campaign for the White Home on a bus tour via Georgia this week, seeking to construct help in a state looming giant within the Nov. 5 election.
