64% of Harris contributions have come from new donors

The $126 million Harris has raised since Sunday includes $81 million in just the first 24 hours since Biden’s exit, making it the largest one-day fundraising haul for any candidate ever, according to the campaign.

The contributions have come from 1.4 million donors, 64% of whom were making their first donations of the 2024 election cycle.

The campaign also touted adding 74,000 new volunteers since Harris announced her bid for president and said Harris has inherited Biden’s robust campaign infrastructure that includes 250 coordinates offices across the battleground states.

    Great to see the US/Dems getting fired up with some positivity for once! There’s a strong “Let’s goooo!” vibe now! It’s incredible how right-wing influencers targeted Kamala Harris’ laugh in that video, but watching it brings nothing but joy! With all the recent grimness, I’ll take this positivity any day! :-D Kamala is memeable and is leaning into it and I wouldn’t be surprised if they just grabbed that laugh video and used it in their own campaign! :-D (I’m not a US citizen, just excited for you finally!)

      Agreed.

      I’m Australian. For better or worse we’re a vassal to the US. Things were looking pretty grim. I’m heartened to see some positivity around Kamala.

      Its almost like they saw the problems, knew Biden was the lesser of two evils and now there is no lesser evil they can get excited.

      I haven’t seen this much positivity about the future since pre-Obama’ campaign.
