Vice President Kamala Harris has achieved a significant fundraising milestone, raising approximately $500 million in just one month since announcing her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. This unprecedented fundraising effort, reported by multiple sources including Reuters, reflects strong donor enthusiasm and has brought the total amount raised by her campaign to over $1 billion. The Harris campaign has notably attracted a substantial number of contributions from women, setting a potential record for campaign contributions by female donors. Harris's campaign drew at least 2.4 million donors in her first 11 days, with 62% being new donors who had not contributed to President Biden's campaign. Additionally, Harris's fundraising efforts have significantly outpaced those of former President Donald Trump, with her campaign raising four times as much as Trump's in July, including $204 million last month.
