This surge in funding follows President Joe Biden&#8217;s endorsement of her as the 2024 Democratic nominee last week. Harris&#8217;s fundraising exceeded both Biden\u2019s total from April to June and former President Donald Trump&#8217;s July earnings, which amounted to $139 million for a total of $327 million on hand. The figures for Harris include contributions from her campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and their joint fundraising efforts, marking a historic milestone as Democrats have already raised over $1 billion this election cycle\u2014faster than ever before in presidential history.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign highlighted that two-thirds of donors in July were first-time contributors and that most were grassroots supporters donating less than $200 each, indicating potential for further contributions this year. They noted a significant increase in donations from younger generations: more than ten times the number of Gen Z donors and over eight times the number of millennial donors compared to June. Additionally, women made up 60% of all donors.<\/p>\n<p>Coalition groups such as Black Women for Harris and Latinas for Harris collectively raised over $20 million for her campaign. Campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez emphasized that these numbers demonstrate a mobilized coalition ready to work hard leading up to Election Day. The campaign has also welcomed more than 170,000 new volunteers and organized 2,300 events across key states as they approach November.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Trump\u2019s team reported raising approximately $138.7 million in July with a cash reserve totaling $327 million. They claimed this reflects ongoing momentum among their donor base with just under three months until Election Day on November 5.<\/p>\n<p>Historically speaking, Biden had consistently outperformed Trump in fundraising until Super Tuesday when Trump&#8217;s primary concluded and his campaign merged with the Republican National Committee.
