No presidential candidate is believed to have ever raised so much money so fast. The campaign has stopped reporting its fundraising totals to keep Democrats from becoming complacent.
Vice President Kamala Harris has raised more than $US1 billion in less than three months as a presidential candidate, according to three people with knowledge of her fundraising haul, a remarkable sum of money that has remade the race against former president Donald Trump.
The Harris campaign declined to comment. The campaign has yet to announce how much it raised in September, partly out of concern that bragging about it could diminish donor interest in the race’s final weeks, people briefed on the strategy said. The Harris campaign also remains concerned about the ability of billionaire-funded Republican super PACs to impact the race.
The $US1 billion threshold is more than Trump has announced raising in all of 2024. He has raised around $US853 million this calendar year in concert with the party, according to a tally of his campaign’s public statements.Past presidential candidates, including Joe Biden and Trump four years ago, have raised more than $US1 billion together with their parties. It is the sheer speed with which Harris has reached that mark that is notable.
