Vice President\u00a0Kamala Harris\u2019<\/a>\u00a0campaign has raised $200 million since she emerged as the likely Democratic presidential nominee last week, an eye-popping haul in her race against the Republican nominee, former President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n The campaign, which announced its latest fundraising total on Sunday, said the bulk of the donations \u2014 66% \u2014 comes from first-time contributors in the 2024 election cycle and were made after President Joe Biden\u00a0announced his exit<\/a>\u00a0from the race and endorsed Harris.<\/p>\n Over 170,000 volunteers have also signed up to help the Harris campaign with phone banking, canvassing and other get-out-the-vote efforts. Election Day is 100 days away.<\/p>\n \u201cThe momentum and energy for Vice President Harris is real \u2014 and so are the fundamentals of this race: this election will be very close and decided by a small number of voters in just a few states,\u201d Michael Tyler, the campaign\u2019s communications director, wrote in a memo.<\/p>\n Harris campaigned in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on Saturday, drawing hundreds to a fundraiser that had been organized when Biden was still at the top of the Democratic ticket. The fundraiser had originally been expected to raise $400,000 but ended bringing in about $1.4 million, according to the campaign.<\/p>\n Harris quickly coalesced Democratic support after Biden, whose candidacy fizzled following his disastrous June 27 debate performance against Trump, exited the race. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former House Minority Whip Jim Clyburn, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were quick to announce their support.<\/p>\n Prodigious Democratic fundraisers former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama\u00a0announced their endorsement<\/a>\u00a0on Friday.<\/p>\n Harris at her Saturday fundraiser said she remained the \u201cunderdog\u201d in the race but that her campaign was picking up steam.<\/p>\n Future Forward, the largest super PAC in Democratic politics, announced last week it had secured $150 million in commitments over the first 24 hours from donors after Biden bowed out and endorsed Harris.<\/p>\n Democratic House and Senate candidates say they also have seen\u00a0a surge in support<\/a>\u00a0since Harris emerged as the party\u2019s likely nominee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
