The campaign to elect Vice President Kamala Harris said fundraising exceeded $300 million in August, NBC News reported Thursday.
The Harris campaign last week reported that it had raised $540 million since she replaced President Joe Biden in July as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Thursday's announcement is significant in that it notes that the majority of that figure has come in the one full month since Harris announced her candidacy and has shown no signs of slowing.
The $300 million haul is more than twice the amount raised by former President Donald Trump during the same time.
The Harris campaign on Monday announced it will donate some of her vast campaign resources to assist fellow Democrats in House and Senate races. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will each receive $10 million. The Harris campaign also will distribute $2.5 million to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee to help elect Democrats get in to state legislatures.
The Harris campaign looks to continue its efforts to outraise Trump with possible fundraisers considered in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
