And that's not all: https://www.scrippsnews.com/politics/ha ... und-statesKamala Harris is smashing fundraising records as the Democratic Party’s donors — big and small — open their wallets for the vice president in the immediate aftermath of President Joe Biden’s stunning decision to step aside.
In total, Harris’ team raised more than $81 million in the 24-hour period since Biden’s announcement, campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said Monday.
The massive haul, which includes money raised across the campaign, the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees, represents the largest 24-hour sum reported by either side in the 2024 campaign. Harris’ campaign said it was the largest single-day total in U.S. history.
“The historic outpouring of support for Vice President Harris represents exactly the kind of grassroots energy and enthusiasm that wins elections,” Munoz said.
Hours earlier, Future Forward, the largest super PAC in Democratic politics, announced it had secured $150 million in commitments over the same period from donors who were “previously stalled, uncertain or uncommitted,” a senior adviser said.
That's called momentum!The presidential campaign for Kamala Harris doesn't appear short on enthusiasm. The campaign told Scripps News on Monday that it has seen a surge in sign-ups for volunteers across battleground states.
It states that more than 28,000 people have signed up to volunteer for the campaign after President Joe Biden endorsed Harris on Sunday. That's more than 100 times the amount of sign-ups the campaign says it sees on an average day.
"In Pennsylvania and Nevada, volunteers literally showed up at field offices asking to help," a campaign official told Scripps News. "And in Georgia, an organizer knocking doors on Sunday specifically said they wanted to keep knocking to talk to voters about 'saving democracy.'"
Starting to feel like 2008 all over again! This is how you win elections.
