Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris is building up her campaign funds, which are the actual fuel needed for her campaign.
According to the Washington Post (WP) and others, Harris’s presidential campaign announced on the 25th that Vice President Harris has raised $540 million since declaring her candidacy last month.
Vice President Harris raised $82 million during the Democratic Party’s convention in Chicago from the 19th to the 22nd.
Donations poured in immediately after Vice President Harris gave her acceptance speech on the 22nd.
“The passion and energy at the United Center (the convention venue) was clear, and that passion spread far and wide, far beyond Chicago and into the swing states that will determine this election,” said Chairman Dillon.
Vice President Harris plans to focus on swing states based on the energy she gathered through the convention.
Harris’s presidential campaign has aired new ads in seven swing states since the convention, and Vice President Harris and Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz, Minnesota Governor, are scheduled to hold a bus campaign in the swing state of Georgia on the 28th and 29th.
The Democratic Party has been ahead of the Republican Party in terms of financial resources since changing its presidential candidate from President Joe Biden to Vice President Harris.
