As Vice President Kamala Harris launched her presidential campaign on July 21, her campaign experienced an unprecedented flood of donations. On Friday, her campaign confirmed exactly how much was raised during the month of July.

In a monthly report prepared by the Harris campaign, she garnered $310 million in July, claiming the month as "the best grassroots fundraising month in presidential history." The campaign said that $200 million alone was raised in the first week after Harris announced her candidacy following President Joe Biden's exit from the race.

The Harris campaign said that more than 3 million donors made over 4.2 million contributions in July, 94% of them made contributions of under $200.

By comparison, the Biden campaign said it earned $127 million in June and $264 million for all of the second quarter of 2024.

The vice president's campaign said the massive campaign haul allows it to expand operations in key battleground states. The campaign says it now has 260 campaign offices throughout the U.S., employing 1,400 workers.

“This is a history-making haul for a candidate who will make history this November. The tremendous outpouring of support we’ve seen in just a short time makes clear the Harris coalition is mobilized, growing, and ready to put in the work to defeat Trump this November,” said Harris for President campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez. “Our money is going to the work that wins close elections – whether it be an organizer knocking doors in DeKalb County, a rural office opening in Pennsylvania, or a college student tabling at a club fair."

On Thursday, former President Donald Trump's campaign said it has raised $138.7 million in July providing a cash-on-hand total of $327 million.

"These numbers reflect continued momentum with donors at every level and provide the resources for the final 96 days until victory November 5th," the campaign said.
