Democratic supporters lavished on Harris during the National Convention.
According to the Associated Press, the campaign headquarters of Kamala Harris, the vice president and Democratic candidate for the 2024 US presidential election, announced the collection of 540 million dollars in donations, referring to the increase in donations to her headquarters after the Democratic Party Congress.
According to the Associated Press, after US President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the Democratic nomination in the November elections, Harris’ office has had no problems attracting support.
Joe O’Malley, Harris’ chief of staff, while pointing to the increase in donations during the Democratic National Convention of the party, which was held for four days in Chicago last week, announced: “Just before Harris’s nomination acceptance speech, which was given on Thursday night, we officially crossed the 500 million dollar (financial assistance) mark.
In another part of the statement, O’Malley said: “Immediately after her speech, we saw the best hour of fundraising since the establishment of the headquarters.”
According to the Associated Press, although Trump has been doing great in fundraising, he has lost ground compared to the Harris campaign, which has only been in operation for a month. The Trump campaign announced earlier this month that it raised $138.7 million in July; This figure is less than the amount that Harris collected in the first week of announcing his candidacy!
According to Chief of Staff Harris, about one-third of donations during the week of the convention were collected from new sponsors. Also, according to him, about one-fifth of them are young voters and two-thirds are women; The group that Harris’ headquarters considers to be one of its trump cards to win the November 5 election.
