The Harris presidential campaign announces receiving an astounding $540 million in contributions within a single month.
Ever since joining the presidential race after Joe Biden's departure on July 21st, Harris along with her partner Tim Walz, has reportedly managed to collect an impressive $540 million (approximately €480 million). A remarkable one-third of this vast sum came from brand new contributors, as reported by O'Malley Dillon. Immediately following her speech, they experienced their most successful fundraising hour since the campaign's initial launch, according to her.
With Election Day fast approaching on November 5th, Harris and her opponent, Donald Trump, are now in the final ten-week sprint. Trump, whose campaign was shaken by Biden's exit, initially claimed to have $327 million in August.
The campaign of current US Vice President Harris seems to have rekindled donor interest - a significant shift following the rocky period post Biden's underwhelming performance in a June TV debate, during which major donors reportedly paused their support. At the same time, the campaign appears to have fostered an "army of volunteers," as O'Malley Dillon expressed it - individuals flocking to join up in droves during the convention.

The campaign's newfound momentum has led to an influx of funds, with over $540 million raised, including the segment labeled as '540 Other'. This substantial sum has significantly increased since the period of dwindling donor support following Vice President Harris's less than impressive performance in the June TV debate.
In light of the approaching Election Day on November 5th, Harris's campaign has garnered a strong dedication, with an "army of volunteers" that O'Malley Dillon referred to, rallying behind her cause.
