The Joe Biden-turned-Kamala Harris campaign raised $310 million in July — a monster sum of cash sparked by the vice president’s entry into the presidential race.
Harris’ haul more than doubled the $137 million brought in by former President Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt and headlined the Republican National Convention last month. Harris’ campaign and other affiliated committees have $377 million in cash on hand, a $50 million advantage over Trump’s $327 war chest, according to figures released by both campaigns this week.
They’ve also raised over $1 billion during the campaign with four more months to go, the fastest to break the 10-figure mark in history, the campaign said on Friday.
The eye-popping totals have transformed the financial fortunes for Democrats, who had seen their financial advantage collapse under Biden in recent months.
