Kamala Harris Raises Record $81 Million in 24 Hours and Secures Pledged Delegates

Vice President Kamala Harris raises a historic 81 million USD in 24 hours following President Joe Biden’s endorsement and secures support from 27 state delegations, setting her on track for the Democratic presidential nomination. In a historic fundraising effort, Vice President Kamala Harris raised a staggering 81 million USD within 24 hours after receiving President Joe Biden’s endorsement. This unprecedented amount marks the largest sum ever raised in a 24-hour period in presidential campaign history.

By Monday night, Harris had secured the support of at least 27 state delegations, surpassing the majority of Democratic delegates required to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, as reported by CBS News. These endorsements, if they hold, will result in Harris being officially nominated for president during a virtual roll call next month, preceding the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.

Harris officially launched her campaign on Sunday, following Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race and his subsequent endorsement of her. Kevin Munoz, a spokesperson for Harris’ campaign, highlighted the significance of the overwhelming support, stating, “The historic outpouring of support for Vice President Harris represents exactly the kind of grassroots energy and enthusiasm that wins elections. Already, we are seeing a broad and diverse coalition come together to support our critical work of talking to the voters that will decide this election.”

This remarkable fundraising achievement and the securing of delegate support underscore the momentum and grassroots enthusiasm behind Harris’ campaign as she moves towards the Democratic nomination.
