Oct 24, 2024, 09:42 PM

Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign has significantly outpaced former President Donald Trump's in fundraising efforts, raising over $1 billion in under three months. In September alone, Harris's campaign raised nearly $222 million, three times more than Trump's. In traditionally Republican states like Utah and Texas, Harris has outperformed Trump, raising $1.25 million more in Utah since July and nearly matching his fundraising in Texas entering October. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign has released its closing message to voters: 'Harris broke it, Trump will fix it,' focusing on the economy and the border crisis in the campaign's final stretch. Trump has criticized Harris's handling of the migrant crisis, stating that cartels' profits have soared from $500 million a year under his administration to $13 billion under Biden, accusing Harris of aiding criminal networks. The two candidates are neck and neck in several battleground states, with polls showing a tight race as the election approaches. Harris holds a significant edge with Latino voters in key states. Notably, the mayor of a key GOP stronghold in Wisconsin has endorsed Harris, expressing fear over a potential Trump presidency. Both campaigns are ramping up efforts in the final stretch, urging supporters to cast their ballots as early voting is underway in states like Arizona, with deadlines approaching on November 1st.
