Harris Campaign Rakes in $40 Million Post-Speech at DNC with First-Time Donors Making Up a Third of Donors

The Harris campaign announced a significant fundraising boost, raising $40 million following Vice President Kamala Harris' speech at the Democratic National Convention. This brings the total funds raised for her election efforts to $540 million since President Joe Biden exited the race and endorsed her on July 21. A third of the recent donations came from first-time contributors, marking the campaign's best fundraising hour since its launch. The campaign focuses on voter engagement, with volunteers signing up for nearly 200,000 shifts in the past week.
