Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign has achieved a historic fundraising milestone, raising over $100 million between Sunday afternoon and Monday evening. This impressive haul, which includes contributions to the campaign, Democratic National Committee, and joint fundraising committees, brings the total number of unique donors to more than 1.1 million since Sunday, with 62% being first-time donors.
In just the first 24 hours, Team Harris raised $81 million, contributing to an existing war chest nearing a quarter of a billion dollars. This unprecedented fundraising effort saw over 888,000 grassroots donors making contributions, marking the highest 24-hour raise of any candidate in history.
Harris’s trip to Milwaukee comes amid this surge of grassroots support and enthusiasm, reflecting a growing momentum toward her election bid. The vice president’s ability to mobilize such widespread support underscores the groundswell of backing behind her campaign.
Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her first statement after President Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and delivered a ringing endorsement of his partner.
In a statement shared by the Biden campaign, Harris saluted Biden for “selfless and patriotic” decision.
“On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country,” Harris opened. “His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office.”
“It is a profound honor to serve as his Vice President, and I am deeply grateful to the President, Dr. Biden, and the entire Biden family. I first came to know President Biden through his son Beau. We were friends from our days working together as Attorneys General of our home states. As we worked together, Beau would tell me stories about his Dad. The kind of father—and the kind of man—he was. And the qualities Beau revered in his father are the same qualities, the same values, I have seen every single day in Joe’s leadership as President: His honesty and integrity. His big heart and commitment to his faith and his family. And his love of our country and the American people.
“With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else.
“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination. Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party — and unite our nation — to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.”
She closed, writing, “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win.”
As Harris continues to gain traction, her opponent, Donald Trump, faces the challenge of countering her popular agenda and vision for the American people. The divisive and unpopular nature of Trump’s policies contrasts sharply with Harris’s record and the vibrant energy of her grassroots supporters.
