Harris is holding her first fundraiser as the likely Democratic nominee as donors open their wallets

Vice President Kamala Harris is holding her first fundraiser since becoming the Democrats’ likely White House nominee as she looks to build on a record week of contributions since President Joe Biden ended his campaign for reelection. Harris is traveling to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on Saturday in anticipation of raising more than $1.4 million, according to campaign announced, from an expected audience of about 800 people. Plans call for musician James Taylor to introduce Harris at a fundraiser that was to feature many of the state’s Democratic heavyweights. Harris took in more than $100 million in donations in the first 48 hours after Biden quit the race.
