Vice President Kamala Harris has set a new record in presidential campaign fundraising by raising $81 million in the first 24 hours after announcing her candidacy. This unprecedented fundraising haul follows President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the race and endorse her. The campaign reported that the donations came from 888,000 grassroots donors, with 60% of them making their first contribution of the 2024 election cycle. The funds were raised through the campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and joint fundraising committees. This marks the largest 24-hour fundraising haul in presidential history, with significant contributions coming through ActBlue.
