Kamala Harris brings in $200 million in first week of her candidacy
Vice President Kamala Harris has raised an impressive $200 million in her first week as the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, primarily from first-time contributors, following President Biden's withdrawal from the race.
The campaign also has over 170,000 volunteers engaged in various election efforts. Michael Tyler, the campaign's communications director, noted, “The momentum and energy for Vice President Harris is real." Harris recently held 2,300 organizing events and significantly exceeded fundraising expectations at a recent event. Meanwhile, her Republican opponents are attempting to brand her as a "far-left politician."
As tensions surround international issues and the upcoming election, some Republicans express concern that her candidacy may energize Democratic voters.
