Kamala Harris' presidential campaign has raised over a billion dollars since she became the Democratic presidential candidate in July. Probably no presidential candidate has ever collected such a sum in such a short time – the New York Times reported.
Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign team raised over $1 billion for her campaign in less than 80 days. The money comes primarily from online fundraising, the New York Times reported.
The New York daily, which cites three sources familiar with the financial details of the campaign, emphasizes that the sum collected by Kamala Harris's campaign does not include funds collected by the so-called super PACs working on behalf of the candidate.

A super PAC is an electoral committee that does not transfer money to the candidate's team, but allocates it itself to campaigns to support the candidate during the election campaign.
Probably no presidential candidate has ever collected such a sum in such a short time – the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
Trump with Musk's financial support
In 2024 Donald Trump raised approximately USD 853 million. As “NYT” writes, the Democrat's team is afraid that huge sums are raised by super PACs working for the Republican candidate.
Harris became the de facto Democratic candidate on July 21, and within the first week $200 million was transferred to her campaign account.
According to the Wall Street Journal Elon Musk announced that he would allocate approximately USD 45 million. per month for his new Trump-supporting super PAC. Fox News reported that the billionaire offers a high hourly rate – $30. – and additional bonuses to people who get involved in mobilizing Republican voters.
