Trump Gets Trounced by Harris’ $361M August Haul Nearly Three to One
Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign announced Friday that it raised $361 million in August, dwarfing the $130 million the Trump campaign says it raised during the same period.
By nearly tripling Donald Trump’s fundraising, Harris opened up a $109 million cash advantage, leaving the VP with a considerable financial edge as the 2024 campaign enters the home stretch. The vice president’s campaign reported $404 million on hand, while Trump’s reported $295 million.
Unlike typical campaign cycles, when more money tends to roll in as enthusiasm builds closer to Election Day, Trump’s fundraising has wilted in recent weeks. The $130 million his campaign raised in August was less than the $139 million he raised in July, and less than the $210 million he raised in August 2020, when he last ran for the Oval Office.
