Kamala Harris Raises Record $540 Million in Donations

Kamala Harris' campaign team has announced that they have raised a record-breaking $540 million in donations. One third of the donations come from first-time donors, with two-thirds of those donors being women.

This surge in donations came after Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris as his replacement. The campaign saw a significant increase in donations during the Democratic National Convention, with $82 million raised during that week alone.

Harris's fundraising success has put her ahead of Donald Trump, who raised $138.7 million in July. The funds raised will be crucial for the upcoming presidential election, as campaigns in the US are extremely costly.

Harris has pledged to unite the country and overcome bitterness, while Trump has criticized her as being inactive and a complainer. The race between the two candidates is expected to be tight, with swing states playing a crucial role in determining the outcome.

Overall, the significant amount of donations received by Harris's campaign reflects broad support within the party and suggests a competitive race in November.
