Harris campaign says it has raised $540M, sees surge of donations during DNC

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign says it has now raised $540 million for its election battle against Republican nominee former President Donald Trump. The campaign has had no problems getting supporters to open their wallets since President Joe Biden announced he was ending his campaign and quickly endorsed Harris. The campaign said it saw a surge of donations during last week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago where Harris and her vice presidential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, accepted their nominations. Campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon wrote in a memo released by the campaign on Sunday that immediately after Harris' DNC acceptance speech on Thursday, the campaign saw its best hour of fundraising since launch day.
