Harris Campaign Raises $361 Million In August, Tripling Trump Total

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign raised $361 million in August, more than triple what former President Donald Trump brought in and the most a presidential campaign has ever raised in a single month.

The campaign said it has $404 million in cash on hand, a total spread across the Harris campaign, the Democratic National Committee and other joint fundraising committees.

Trump’s campaign announced Wednesday it raised $130 million in August and had $295 million cash on hand.

Harris’ fundraising reestablishes Democrats’ financial lead in the presidential race, which had shrunken significantly after Trump won the GOP nomination — allowing him to accept significantly larger donations than he had been able to during the primary — and after President Joe Biden’s infamously poor June debate performance, which led Democratic donors large and small to put away their checkbooks.
