Kamala Harris’ Record Campaign Money Haul Laps Donald Trump In Final Weeks
HuffPost
The Democratic candidate has outraised the former GOP president by nearly $900 million over the course of the campaign and has $50 million more than him in cash on hand.
Vice President Kamala Harris has lapped former President Donald Trump in fundraising after pulling in a record $1.6 billion across various campaign committees compared to $700 million for Trump.
In total, Harris has raised $928 million for her official campaign, $364 million for the Democratic National Committee and another $307 million for a joint fundraising committee after accounting for transfers made to her official campaign and other party committees, according to FEC filings running through Sept. 30. That total, which includes funds raised when President Joe Biden was the party’s candidate, is a record sum for a presidential candidate.
On the other hand, Trump has raised $375 million for his campaign, $281 million for the Republican National Committee and $145 million for two joint fundraising committees, excluding transfers over the same period.
Harris routed Trump in fundraising for their official campaigns in September by pulling in $222 million compared to the Republican’s $63 million. Those numbers are both down from the same period in 2020, when Biden raised $281 million and Trump raised $81 million.
