US Elections: Kamala Harris Campaign Raises Record $200 Million in First Week, Signs Up 170,000 Volunteers
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has raised a record $200 million in its first week since she emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee. This unprecedented fundraising haul reflects the significant grassroots support for her candidacy. Additionally, the campaign has signed up over 170,000 new volunteers, demonstrating the enthusiasm and momentum behind her campaign.
The campaign has also highlighted the importance of grassroots support, with 66% of the funds coming from first-time donors. This surge in support has been attributed to the Vice President’s experience and the unified backing of the Democratic Party. The campaign is now focusing on mobilizing these supporters for the upcoming election, with thousands of events planned in battleground states.
Harris’ campaign has been marked by a strong showing of support from various demographics, including young voters, voters of color, labor, and prominent leaders such as Barack and Michelle Obama. The campaign is set to formally announce her as the presidential nominee at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month.
The Harris campaign has also emphasized the close nature of the upcoming election, which will be decided by a small number of voters in key states. The campaign is working to harness this energy and enthusiasm to secure a victory in November.
