Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign said it raked in a whopping $310 million in its July fundraising efforts – more than double the amount raised by her Republican rival last month – and has $377 million cash on hand, marking the latest sign of how transformative and energizing the change to the top of the Democratic ticket has been among grassroots and high-dollar supporters.
A majority of that $310 million haul, more than $200 million, was raised in the first week of Harris’ candidacy, the campaign said in a statement, with two-thirds of the fundraising coming from first-time donors to the campaign.
I donated $100 and will probably donate more.
I feel like this is our last attempt at a do over of 2016. I was swindled by Russian propaganda and bought into the “protest by voting third party,” and while my vote didn’t change anything (New Yorker), a lot of others were also duped in swing states and counties.
First, You rock. You changed the context of your actions based on new information and have decided to change your approach going forward, and you’re honest about it. All political discourse should occur at this level of self-awareness and transparency.
And just so you know I commiserate…I volunteered for Blegojevich.
Bro, I voted Nader in 2000. In Florida. I still love Nader but I sure learned that lesson.
Yes! Same in Florida too.
This is the first time I’ve ever donated to a campaign. I did the $10 a week. I feel like I’m included even if it’s small.
