2024 Cash Dash: Harris nearly triples Trump's fundraising last month

Vice President Kamala Harris raked in a staggering $361 million in fundraising in August, her campaign announced on Friday morning, in what it touted was "the largest haul of the 2024 cycle."

The fundraising by the Democratic Party's presidential nominee was nearly triple the $130 million that the Donald Trump campaign announced on Wednesday that the former president brought in last month.

Harris has enjoyed a fundraising surge in the nearly seven weeks since she replaced President Biden at the top of the Democratic Party's 2024 ticket.

The vice president's campaign highlighted that Harris has brought in over $615 million in fundraising since July 21, when Biden, in a blockbuster announcement, ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his running mate.

The Harris campaign also touted August's haul was "the best grassroots fundraising month in presidential history."

The vice president's team also showcased what it called "a massive war chest," reporting $404 million cash-on-hand as of the end of last month. That's over $100 million more than the $295 million the Trump campaign said it had in its coffers.
