Team Harris Raises $310 Million in July, Setting Grassroots Record and Doubling Trump’s Raise

 

Kamala Harris with Florice Hoffman

This morning, Team Harris announced that we raised more than $310 million in the month of July, the biggest haul of the 2024 election cycle, with over two-thirds of the record-breaking haul coming from first-time donors.

Today’s monumental show of support marks the best grassroots fundraising month in presidential history. There is no question that this is going to be a close race, and while Vice President Harris herself has said she is the underdog, Team Harris’ massive grassroots-driven July fundraising shows the momentum is with our campaign.

It’s a stark contrast with how Donald Trump and his campaign have spent July, doing little more than shilling for himself and wealthy donors as his campaign still lags far behind in building the infrastructure in battleground states that will be critical down the stretch.

See coverage below:

On the Airwaves:

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Senior Advisor and Senior Spokesperson Adrienne Elrod:

Mike Barnicle: “Talk about the small donor contributions, the number of people who gave $200 or less. Do you know the numbers? Are you familiar with the numbers?”

Adrienne Elrod: “Yeah, I mean, Barnicle, first of all, we have all kinds of stats when it comes to this record fundraising $310 million that our campaign raised in July. Truly incredible. Two-thirds of those funds came from first-time donors to this campaign. You know, a remarkable number of those donations were small donations, grassroots donations. $200 million was raised in the last six days, or the six days after when the President dropped out and Vice President Harris became the presumptive nominee and then the actual nominee. So, we’ve got a lot of statistics here. What I can also tell you, when it comes to grassroots donations, July was the largest grassroots fundraising month in Democratic fundraising history. So, take all of that into account. Given the fact she more than doubled Trump’s fundraising, what he raised in July, his fundraising numbers. Look, you know, Barnicle, grassroots donations fund this campaign. It shows the excitement and enthusiasm from all corners of the United States.”

On CNN’s News Central:

“Breaking overnight, a massive fundraising haul by presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Her campaign says it raised $310 million in just the month of July. That’s more than double what Donald Trump raised last month, but also just a wild amount of money, period. It’s also a clear sign of the energy felt by both high dollar donors and grassroots supporters, with the change to the top of the Democratic ticket.”

On CNN’s New Central, Kate Bolduan: “Oh my God. Kamala Harris’, his team, Congresswoman, just announced that its fundraising haul for the month of July is $310 million. It’s more than double what the Trump campaign raised, a majority they say of that $310 million was raised in the first week of Harris’s candidacy and she just got in on July 21.”

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe: “The Harris campaign just released its July fundraising totals, and the number is jaw-dropping, honestly. The campaign says it raised more than $310 million last month driven by a record breaking $200 million raised in the first week after she replaced President Biden atop the Democratic ticket. The July haul brings Harris’ war chest to $377 million according to the campaign, and Harris has now raised over $1 billion this cycle. That’s the fastest presidential campaign has crossed the $1 billion threshold in presidential history. 94% of donations in July were under $200, and two-thirds came from first time donors. $310 million raised by Harris compares to the $139 million that Donald Trump said he and his authorized committees raised in the month of july.”

On CNBC’s News Alert, Dominic Chu: “New fundraising figures from Kamala Harris’ campaign. Her team announcing it raised $310 million in July, marking the biggest haul of this Presidential election cycle.”

On Bloomberg Radio: “Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has released its first fundraising total since she entered the race less than two weeks ago. It’s a record – $310 million raised in July. That haul more than doubles the nearly $139 million former President Donald Trump’s campaign raised last month. The Harris campaign says grassroots donors, who gave less than $200, accounted for 94% of the 4.2 million donations received.”

[Matt Viser, 8/2/24]

The Harris campaign announced Friday morning that it had raised $310 million in July, the biggest amount so far in the 2024 campaign cycle and more than double what Republican nominee Donald Trump raised, the bulk of it built on the rollout of Vice President Harris as the likely nominee of the Democratic Party. […]

The Harris campaign says it has raised $1 billion so far this cycle, the fastest a presidential campaign has hit that threshold. That includes the phase when Biden was the candidate as well as the recent stretch when he ceded that role to her.

Two-thirds of the $310 million that Harris raised in July came from first-time donors, according to the campaign, in an indication of the momentum that Harris built after Biden dropped out. The campaign says 3 million donors made over 4.2 million contributions, with 2 million donors making their first donation of this presidential cycle.
