This impressive amount for August was nearly three times that of former President Donald Trump and included 1.3 million first-time donors. A senior adviser to the Harris campaign noted in a post on X that &#8220;75% of those donors did not contribute during the last election cycle.&#8221; In contrast, Trump brought in $141 million during his best fundraising month this year, with only 25% of his May donors being new contributors. Since taking over as the leading Democratic candidate from President Joe Biden at the end of July, Harris has experienced a surge in enthusiasm for her campaign. The figures from August indicate that her entry into the race is proving to be a more significant challenge for Republicans than anticipated, as she continues to harness Democratic support. Over this brief period since late July, Harris has reported strong fundraising numbers while Trump&#8217;s campaign has also seen consistent growth this year. On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, she made a campaign stop at Throwback Brewery in North Hampton, N.H., where it was revealed that Trump&#8217;s team had raised $130 million in August\u2014a slight decrease from approximately $138 million collected in July but still significantly up from the $65 million he and his affiliates had at the end of January. The average donation amount for Trump during August was reported to be $56; meanwhile, Harris&#8217;s average contribution during her first eleven days leading the Democratic ticket was about $68 according to Business Standard data. Currently, Harris holds $404 million cash on hand compared to Trump&#8217;s nearly $300 million. With ample funds available, her campaign announced plans to allocate nearly $25 million towards down-ballot Democratic candidates ahead of Election Day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3142,"featured_media":2337757,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[4087,5131,6571,15467,4021],"class_list":["post-2337756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-campaign","tag-donors","tag-elections","tag-fundraising","tag-harris"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Harris.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2337756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2337756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2337756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2337756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2337756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
