Kamala Harris Raises $200 Million in First Week, Energizes Democratic Campaign

[Social Media]

 

In a groundbreaking show of support, Vice President Kamala Harris has raised an impressive $200 million during the first week of her presidential campaign. According to her campaign, a striking 66% of these donations came from first-time donors, underscoring the fresh enthusiasm and widespread backing she has garnered.

 

This significant fundraising achievement comes on the heels of President Joe Biden's unexpected decision to step aside as the Democratic presidential nominee. Biden’s move has not only reshaped the dynamics of the 2024 race but also sparked a surge of excitement and financial contributions within the Democratic Party.

 

Before Biden's extraordinary decision, the fundraising battle between the two major parties was intensifying, with former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee rapidly closing the gap with Biden and the Democratic National Committee. However, Harris' remarkable fundraising haul now gives her campaign a crucial financial edge as she seeks to officially secure the party's nomination and aim for the White House in the November election.

 

The impact of Harris' campaign announcement is evident in the unprecedented mobilization of volunteers and supporters. More than 170,000 new volunteers have joined the Harris campaign within the first week since Biden endorsed her as his preferred successor. Michael Tyler, the campaign's communications director, highlighted the significance of this support, saying, "The momentum and energy for Vice President Harris is real — and so are the fundamentals of this race: this election will be very close and decided by a small number of voters in just a few states."

 

The Democratic Party has rapidly coalesced around Harris in the aftermath of Biden's decision. Major party leaders, influential donors, and a majority of delegates have thrown their support behind her candidacy. This swift consolidation of support has positioned Harris as the clear frontrunner to secure the Democratic nomination and has energized the party’s base.

 

Harris' entry into the presidential race has injected new life into the Democratic campaign, providing a boost of optimism and determination among her supporters. As the campaign progresses, her ability to maintain this momentum and build on her initial fundraising success will be critical to her bid for the presidency. With a well-funded campaign and a growing base of enthusiastic volunteers, Harris is poised to make a significant impact in the 2024 election, shaping the future direction of the Democratic Party and the nation.

Kamala Harris stands to win on her own merits but the anti Trump vote will create a blue wave. Trump is about to lose his second presidential run this time to a woman, a black woman at that and the daughter of immigrants. This will crush Trump and his MAGA cult. It's about time. Enough already.

There is a question about the 200 million she got for her election. Biden had transferred his election money to hers. Which is most likely illegal and was done to make her seem like she has so many supporters. 

https://fortune.com/2024/07/24/trump-campaign-transfer-biden-funds-to-kamala-harris-breaks-law/

 

If she does not win then she will be in trouble with the courts and prosecuted for election fund fraud. So don't get your hairs up in a fizzy. If this is accurate then it was done for the mere fact to make her look like she is popular to win more votes which is also a crime. I do not believe she is as popular as the Democrats are claiming in the news.

Great! What are her policies?

 

All I've heard in the news is the colour of her skin and type of genitalia.

She has no policies yet.. Her handlers have not given her anything except to follow bidens old policies. She has no knowledge of politics that is easily seen in her interviews and meetings with other leaders.

Watching one of her early speeches, the one with the very good line "I know his type", I could not but be amused by the irony of the chant of "lock him up"!

The headline of your link starts "Trump campaign says".......exactly!!

 

 And from all the legal analysis I have seen/read, it's all legal as the donations officially are sent to the "Biden/Harris Campaign".....but if you want to grasp at straws like his whole campaign is now, so be it.

 

Good luck in court with that......I hear The Orange Man has a good record there!!   🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Surely, that would be a politically motivated manipulation of the judicial system, and we all have been left in no doubt that Mr Trump absolutely abhors the idea of that - I am sure that I recall him declaiming that on the steps of a Manhattan court room, just after he had been convicted - of fraudulent use of electoral funds wasn't it?

If 66% of funds raised are from small donations, the  people are voting with their donations . 

All the polls prior to  her becoming the nominee were garbage . People did not know her, they were following the narrative about her perpetrated by the trumpsters, (I don't even say Republicans because they are not Republicans),

Now we are getting a chance to see her and the contrast between her and Chicken Don.  

[Skeptic7]

🇺🇲 She will be the next POTUS 🇺🇲

The MAGA train wreck derailed long ago and is doomed.

Impressive.  I honestly didn't think there would be this much enthusiasm for her candidacy.  And the VP selection, as well as the Dem convention, hasn't even happened yet.  Looks like the so-called "honeymoon period" will occur right before the election.  Trump is toast.

I think that a lot of voters were frustrated by the choice between 2 old white men .

By Biden's resignation and Kamala's nomination ( soon ) , new hope and energy has been created .

hopefully that will transform into a wave that will just sweep away Trump .

Why is that.. Wasn't it politically motivated with Trumps cases? Tit4Tat hmm.

Maga is fracturing. White dudes for Hariss and Haley voters for Hariss are just the begining of the movement out of Maga which will gain momentum. Evangelical leaders like Franklin Graham has not endorsed Trump even though he was in RNC. GOP political leaders like border mayor John Giles is the latest Republicans to crossed party line to back Kamala and rebuke Trump's extremism. He is calling the Maga talking point of the "border crisis' a big bs.  As polls tanked further for Trump, we can expect more Republicans to have the courage to step forward to rebuke Trump. Kamala is energizing the election campaign displaying leadership while Trump is still stuck in his groove with the same old fear, hate and incoherent speech. If he see no election pathway, I fear Trump to go scorch earth.
