Kamala Harris has raised an impressive $540 million in just over a month since launching her campaign for U.S. president, her team announced on Sunday. This historic fundraising effort was bolstered by a surge in donations during the Democratic National Convention last week, where $82 million was collected, showcasing significant Democratic enthusiasm.
Harris entered the presidential race on July 21, following President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside amid concerns from fellow Democrats regarding his cognitive abilities. Since then, her candidacy has gained remarkable momentum, putting Republican candidate Donald Trump on the defensive as he struggles to maintain his media presence.
This week, Harris and her vice-presidential running mate, Tim Walz, are embarking on a bus tour through Georgia, a key state in the upcoming November 5 election, as they continue to rally support across the nation.
