Kamala Harris Rakes in Record Donations as Democrats Rally Behind Her 2024 Campaign

In a stunning turn of events, Vice President Kamala Harris has secured a record-breaking $49.6 million in donations on her first day of campaigning for the 2024 presidential election. This unprecedented fundraising haul comes just hours after President Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw from the race and endorse Harris as his successor.

The donations poured in from both small-dollar donors and major Democratic donors, signaling a renewed enthusiasm for Harris’ campaign. ActBlue, a leading Democratic fundraising platform, reported that donors gave $46.7 million in small-dollar donations through the platform within the first five hours of Harris’ campaign launch. This marks the largest single-day fundraising total of the 2024 election cycle.

“This has been the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle,” said ActBlue in a tweet. “Small-dollar donors are fired up and ready to take on this election.”

The massive influx of donations is a testament to the excitement and support Harris has garnered among Democratic voters. With Biden stepping aside, many see Harris as the party’s best hope to defeat former President Donald Trump in November.

“She let me know that she intends to earn it and to win it,” said Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, who endorsed Harris on Sunday. “And we will work with her to make sure that is the case, not only winning the presidency, but winning the majority in the House.”

The record-breaking donations will provide a significant boost to Harris’ campaign as she seeks to unify the party and map out a path to victory. With the Democratic convention just around the corner, Harris is poised to become the party’s nominee and take on the daunting task of defeating Trump in the general election.

As the 2024 campaign heats up, all eyes will be on Harris and her ability to capitalize on the momentum and support she has gained in the wake of Biden’s withdrawal. With a war chest of nearly $50 million, Harris is well-positioned to make a strong case to the American people and secure the Democratic nomination.
