In the largest single day in ActBlue’s history, newly-assumed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris raised $241 million dollars from donors in all categories since incumbent President Joe Biden announced he would not longer seek the nomination, the New York Daily News reports.
Harris raised nearly $50 million from small-dollar donors after Biden’s announcement. ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising organization, reported the busiest day in its history: at 7 p.m. ET, it reported raising $27 million; by 9:30 p.m. that amount had jumped to $46.7 million. On Monday, the campaign announced it had raised more than $80 million in small-dollar donations in the first 24 hours.
That combines with $150 million committed by the so-called big-money donors and an estimated $95 million already in the Biden-Harris campaign account to give Harris a formidable war chest going into the election.
