$47 Million Flowed Into Harris Campaign in 24 Hours After Debate
Source: NYT
Vice President Kamala Harris raised $47 million in the first 24 hours following her debate with former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night, a sum that will likely expand a widening funding gap between the two campaigns.
That tally, shared by the Harris campaign with The New York Times, included donations from 600,000 people. It is her largest 24-hour fund-raising period since an initial burst of donations when she entered the race in July and raised $81 million on the first day.
Ms. Harris already had a significant financial edge over Mr. Trump entering September. Her operation said it had $404 million cash on hand, while Mr. Trump had $295 million. Ms. Harriss campaign nearly tripled the Trump fund-raising in August.
Presidential debates often become fund-raising bonanzas because of their audience: 67 million people watched Tuesdays contest live, not including likely millions more watching on a variety of websites and streaming platforms. And Ms. Harris was widely seen as commanding the performance, with the rush of donations evidence of Democratic enthusiasm.
