Kamala Harris brings in $26m to Biden campaign in first 24-hours as VP candidate
This is Lauren Aratani taking over for Martin Belam. Joe Biden’s presidential campaign raised $26m in the 24-hour period after he announced that US Senator
Kamala Harris will be his running mate.
The boost in donation is a much-needed sign of momentum behind Biden’s campaign brought on by Harris’ arrival. Trump’s fundraising in July topped Biden’s by $30m, bringing in a total of $165m compared to Biden’s $140m.
During a virtual grassroots fundraiser, Biden
said that 150,000 donors were first-time contributors. “It’s really palpable, the excitement, because there’s so much at stake.”
The fundraiser immediately followed Biden and Harris’ first joint
campaign event in Wilmington, Delaware Wednesday where the candidates said that Donald Trump has left the US “in tatters” because of his failed response to the Covid-19 pandemic. “We have a president who cares more about himself than the people who elected him,” Harris said.
Trump has already taken what many are saying are sexist remarks against Harris, calling her “
extraordinarily nasty” when referring to her questioning of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during the justice’s confirmation hearing.
