Clooney also insinuated that his Hollywood peers should hold off on donating until Biden removed himself from the race.<\/p>\n<p>And Hollywood executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, a longtime megabundler for Biden and other Democratic politicians, reportedly told the president last week that the donation checks had simply stopped flowing.<\/p>\n<p>But early figures suggest that the money faucet has turned back on, landing Harris and Democrats their biggest fundraising day of the cycle by far.<\/p>\n<p>Harris campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz said Monday that the first 24 hours after Harris took over Biden&rsquo;s operation saw the campaign pull in $81 million in small-dollar donations. Nearly two-thirds of that total came from first-time contributors.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The historic outpouring of support for Vice President Harris represents exactly the kind of grassroots energy and enthusiasm that wins elections. Already, we are seeing a broad and diverse coalition come together to support our critical work of talking to the voters that will decide this election,&rdquo; Munoz said in a statement. &ldquo;There is a groundswell behind Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump is terrified&nbsp;because he knows his divisive, unpopular agenda can&rsquo;t stand up to the Vice President&rsquo;s record and vision for the American people.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Future Forward, a core super PAC backing Biden and now Harris in 2024, additionally raised more than $150 million in the first 24 hours after Biden&rsquo;s exit. The super PAC had previously reserved $250 million in television ad campaigns attacking Trump and held just over $120 million in hand at the end of June.<\/p>\n<p>ActBlue, a political action committee supporting Democrats, reportedly pulled in more than $93 million across that same time frame.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Monday, the Biden campaign&rsquo;s&nbsp;biggest fundraising day of the cycle was pegged directly to that first debate with Trump.

The party has raised over $250 million in the past 24 hours across various super PACs and fundraising committees. Prior to Biden&#8217;s exit from the race, donations were low, prompting influential figures like George Clooney and Jeffrey Katzenberg to call for Biden to step down. However, after Harris took over, the donations started flowing again, with the campaign pulling in $81 million in small-dollar donations in the first 24 hours. This represents the biggest fundraising day of the cycle for Harris and Democrats. Future Forward, a super PAC supporting Harris, raised over $150 million in the same time frame. ActBlue, a PAC supporting Democrats, also raised over $93 million.
