Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign increased its already blistering fundraising pace last month, bringing in $361 million in August and easily surpassing the $130 million raised by her Republican rival last month, her campaign said Friday.
The total gives the Democrat a whopping $404 million in cash reserves for the final two-month sprint to Election Day.
The cash stockpiled across Harris’ affiliated committees tops the $295 million that Trump’s political operation said it had available, and underscores how much Harris’ historic and late-breaking candidacy has energized donors. The $361 million is by far the best monthly haul for either party this cycle.
If this rate continues, Harris is poised to collect more than $1 billion in the condensed campaign window between becoming the party’s de facto nominee in late July and Election Day.
“In just a short time, Vice President Harris’ candidacy has galvanized a history-making, broad, and diverse coalition — with the type of enthusiasm, energy, and grit that wins close elections,” Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement.
