Kamala Harris raised $310 million in July, dwarfing Trump haul for month

• The Democratic presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris says its political operation raised more than $300 million in July.
• That tally was more than double the amount raised for the Republican campaign for former President Donald Trump.
• President Joe Biden dropped out of the election contest last month and endorsed Harris.

The presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris said Friday that its political operation raised $310 million in July, dwarfing the tally raised for the Republican nominee Donald Trump in the same month.

Harris' team raised the eye-popping sum between the campaign, the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees.

The vast majority of July's tally — more than $200 million — arrived during the first week of her candidacy, after President Joe Biden dropped out of the election contest on July 21 and endorsed Harris.

The de facto Democratic nominee's team entered August with $377 million on hand.
