US Election: VP Kamala Harris’s Campaign Fund Crosses $100million Under 48 Hours
The substantial amount was collected between Sunday afternoon, following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election, on Sunday evening
The United States’ Vice President, Kamala Harris’s campaign has announced that it has raised $100million under 48 hours since she entered the presidential race on Sunday.
The substantial amount was collected between Sunday afternoon, following President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election, on Sunday evening
The funds were raised by the Democratic National Committee and its joint fundraising committees, ABC News reports.
Additionally, around 58,000 people signed up to volunteer for Harris’s campaign, a significant increase, more than 100 times the average daily signup rate, according to the campaign.
The campaign also announced that Harris is set to hold her first presidential campaign rally on Tuesday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In a memo, the Harris campaign indicated that she would confront former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, on issues such as abortion and Project 2025.
The campaign stated that Harris “is prepared to prosecute the case against Donald Trump — and there’s no better place to drive this contrast than Milwaukee, Wisconsin.”
This rally comes shortly after the Republicans held their nominating convention in Milwaukee and just weeks before the Democrats will hold their convention in Chicago.
The campaign memo highlighted the choice for Wisconsinites between “Donald Trump, the convicted felon who would drag this country backwards, and her brighter vision for the future, where our freedoms are protected and every American has a fair shot.”
