Harris has cash edge over Trump in latest fundraising numbers
CBSN
Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign raised more than three times as much money as former President Donald Trump in September, even as the polls remain neck and neck. And both campaigns spent more than they took in last month, as they make the final push to win over and turn out voters ahead of Nov. 5.
Harris' main campaign committee, Harris for President, raised $221.8 million and spent $269.8 million last month. Harris headed into October with $187.5 million cash on hand, according to a Federal Election Commission filing released Sunday.
Trump's campaign raised $62.7 million in September, ending the month with $119.7 million cash on hand, according to the campaign's FEC filing. The Trump campaign spent $77.6 million.
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX who's gone all-in on Republican Donald Trump's candidacy for the White House, is pledging to give away $1 million a day to voters for signing his political action committee's petition backing the Constitution. The offer is sparking questions among election experts about the plan's legality.
After midnight on July 6, Sonya Massey called 911 to report a prowler. When sheriff's deputies responded, she answered the door in her nightgown, thanking and welcoming them into her home in Springfield, Illinois. But two minutes later, Sangamon County Deputy Sean Grayson took aim at Massey's face and fired a fatal gunshot, killing her in her kitchen. The morning prior, her mother Donna had warned police that her daughter was in the middle of a mental health crisis.
