Harris raised 4 times more than Trump in donations for final election sprint

• Vice President Kamala Harris substantially outraised and outspent Donald Trump in August, according to new filings from the Federal Election Commission.
• The Harris campaign raised more than $189 million in August, more than quadruple the $44 million sum that the Trump campaign brought in.
• Though the Harris campaign also far outspent Trump in August, the vice president ended the month with $404 million in cash on hand, dwarfing Trump's $295 million war chest to fund the final sprint of the November election.

Vice President Kamala Harris substantially outraised and outspent former President Donald Trump in August, ending the month with more cash to fund her final sprint to the November election, according to new filings from the Federal Election Commission.

The Harris campaign raised over $189 million in August, more than quadruple the $44 million sum that the Trump campaign brought in.

Those figures reflect fundraising specifically for the candidate's main campaign accounts and do not include donations to the other branches of their political operations.

The Harris campaign announced earlier this month a total $361 million August haul from campaign donations joint with the Democratic National Committee and fundraising committees. That dwarfed the $130 million raised between the Trump campaign and its joint fundraising committees.

These figures do not factor in September donations, including the Harris campaign's $47 million cash bump from nearly 600,000 donors in the 24 hours following the first and possibly only Harris-Trump debate.

The Harris campaign on Saturday accepted an invitation from CNN to hold a second debate on Oct. 23, but Trump has so far staunchly maintained that he will not do a rematch.
