Harris campaign says it raised $540 million in just over a month

Kamala Harris's U.S. presidential campaign said on Sunday (August 25, 2024) that it has raised more than half a billion dollars in just over a month, "a record for any campaign in history."

The eyewatering amount of $540 million, raised since Ms. Harris launched her campaign after President Joe Biden dropped out of the White House race on July 21 and endorsed her, comes as she and Republican rival Donald Trump embark on the final 10-week sprint to election day on November 5.

Mr. Trump, whose campaign was thrown when Mr. Biden stepped aside, reported having $327 million cash on hand at the start of August.
