Kamala Harris’ campaign on Sunday announced that it has raised an unprecedented USD 200 million in less than a week after she entered the race for the White House, reflecting the groundswell of support in her favour.
The campaign also acknowledged that the November 5 election will be very close and decided by a small number of voters in just a few states.
Vice President Harris, 59, is now the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic party after incumbent President Joe Biden on July 20 announced that he was withdrawing from the race.
“Team Harris has raised USD 200 million since President Biden’s endorsement last Sunday — a record-shattering haul. Of that amount, 66 per cent came from first-time donors, further proof of the tremendous grassroots support for the Vice President,” said Harris for President Communications Director Michael Tyler.
