Harris triples Trump’s fundraising in August

Kamala Harris raked in $361 million last month, widening her cash advantage over Donald Trump with what the vice president’s campaign described as the best grassroots fundraising month in presidential history.

Harris’ haul nearly tripled the $130 million brought in by the former president during the same period, as the campaigns have turned toward the final fall finish.

Harris’ campaign and other affiliated committees have $404 million in cash on hand and a $100 million advantage over Trump’s nearly $300 million war chest, according to figures released by both campaigns this week.

August marked Harris’ first full month as the Democratic Party presidential nominee and included the party’s national convention in Chicago.

Her campaign said she’s raised more than $615 million since she took over the top of the ticket in late July.
