Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has raised $540 million since it launched last month, including a surge bolstered by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and a total that amounts to “a record for any campaign in history,” according to a memo released Sunday by the campaign.
The campaign raised $82 million during the convention last week, with the best hour coming after Harris delivered her acceptance speech Thursday night, according to the memo from Harris campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon. A third of the week’s donations were from first-time contributors, indicating her ability to tap into donors that President Joe Biden did not have when he was the presumptive Democratic nominee, the memo said. Two-thirds of the first-time donors were women, the campaign said.
“The enthusiasm and energy at the United Center this week was palpable,” O’Malley Dillon wrote. “But that enthusiasm extended well beyond Chicago, spreading far and wide throughout the battleground states that will decide this election.”
