Democratic nominee Kamala Harris raised an impressive $310 million in July, with the majority coming from small donations and first-time donors. This surge in funding comes after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, solidifying Harris’s position as the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election. In comparison, Republican nominee Donald Trump raised $138.7 million in July.
As the race for the White House heats up, Trump has engaged in heated rhetoric against Harris, including personal attacks on her racial identity. Recent polls suggest a tight race between the two candidates as the election approaches, with swing states expected to play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
Harris is expected to announce her vice-presidential running mate soon, with names like Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro being floated. The Democratic National Committee has launched a new ad campaign taunting Trump for not committing to a debate with Harris, highlighting his controversial stances on issues like abortion.
Trump, who was convicted of a crime in a hush-money case earlier this year, has a history of controversial statements and policies, including boasting about overturning Roe v Wade. As the campaign intensifies, the focus is on the upcoming debates and the candidates’ ability to connect with voters in key battleground states.
