Kamala Harris' campaign has raised $200 million since the current US vice president became the likely Democratic Party candidate in the November presidential election.
“In the week since we started, Kamala Harris has raised $200 million. 66 percent of that total is from new donors. We also have 170,000 new volunteers,” Kamala Harris' deputy chief of staff Rob Flaherty wrote on the X platform.
In early July, the Republican presidential candidate's campaign team Donald Trump reported that it had raised $331 million, including $284.9 million in cash.
Is Harris just a formality now?
Harris has won the support of a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention, which will likely secure her the party's presidential nomination next month. “Our vice president is the likely nominee. The official vote will be on August 1st,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison told MSNBC on Sunday.
