Vice President Kamala Harris’ political operation entered the final full month of the election with a substantial cash advantage over former President Donald Trump’s network, campaign reports filed Sunday night show. The Democrat began October with $346 million in the coffers of the committees she controls with the national Democratic Party, surpassing the nearly $285 million available to her Republican rival for the final sprint to Election Day, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission covering the month of September. Harris has consistently outraised Trump since entering the race for the White House in late July and quickly collected $1 billion in support of her candidacy – a pace unmatched by any previous presidential contender. Last month, her principal campaign committee outraised Trump’s by a more than 3-to-1 margin, the new filings show. But Harris campaign aides have struck a cautious tone – saying they need to keep raising money at a fast clip to remain competitive, given the truncated window for Harris to introduce herself to voters and the growing sums that Trump’s billionaire supporters have injected into the contest. Over the weekend, Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, raised money at events in Boston and Greenwich, Connecticut, as their campaign urged supporters to contribute smaller amounts online in honor of Harris’ 60th birthday Sunday. The Harris campaign has touted its small-dollar donations, saying that nearly two-thirds of the money raised in September came from grassroots donors. Campaign aides say they have grown the base of donors making recurring contributions to 607,000 contributors – nearly double the number that it had at the end of June, when President Joe Biden was still leading the Democratic ticket.
