A startling fact about Harris’ fundraising prowess compared to Biden’s

  • More people donated to Harris in the first 10 days than to Biden throughout his campaign.
  • Most donors have not given to any Democrat or group this election cycle.
  • Harris is mobilizing new voter demographics, especially Gen Z.

Vibes are one thing, money is another — Kamala Harris has both, at least for now.

More donors contributed to Harris’ campaign in the first 10 days than to Biden during his entire 15-month re-election campaign, according to a Politico analysis.

Between July 21, the day Biden dropped out, and July 31, 2.3 million people gave to Harris, compared to just under 2.1 million they gave to the president since he announced his re-election bid in April 2023.

And on July 21, Harris received 3.5 times more donations than Biden did on his best fundraising day.

If that wasn’t enough, the majority of donors didn’t give to any Democrat this cycle, and nearly 70% did not commit to supporting the Biden campaign. Harris is obviously mobilizing new voter demographics, as he boasted ten times more Gen Z donors in July than Biden in June.

Small donors have rallied around Harris since the day he launched his first campaign and broke the record for fundraising in a single day. The campaign saw another cash boost when Gov. Tim Walz joined the ticket. With the surge in energy, Harris has completely erased Donald Trump’s cash advantage and now has $68 million more on hand than the former president.

It’s not just small, grassroots donors who are excited about Harris, who is a Bay Area native with deep ties to Silicon Valley. Billionaires and prominent business leaders are also rallying around her campaign, while a vocal part of the tech world is gravitating toward Trump.
