✨ Kamala Harris Triples Trump in Fundraising
posted 6 Sept 2024
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is far ahead of her Republican rival, Donald Trump, in fundraising efforts. Her campaign reported raising $361 million in August 2024, nearly triple Trump’s $130 million.
Make no mistake: this election will be hard-fought and hard-won. But with the undeniable, organic support we are seeing, we are making sure we are doing everything possible to mobilise our coalition to defeat Donald Trump once and for all,said Harris campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodriguez.
Jaime Harrison, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, even called this the best monthly fundraising in presidential campaign history. Meanwhile, Trump continues to attract interest from wealthy backers like Timothy Mellon, who recently donated $125 million to his campaign.
At present, national polls show Harris leading Trump by three percentage points (49% to 46%). However, in swing states, their standings are nearly equal. On the crypto betting platform Polymarket, Trump is given a 53% chance of winning, six points ahead of Harris.
