Since Ms. Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for the White House, the amount of money pouring into her campaign and affiliated political action committees and the Democratic Party has increased to a record level. On the day she was nominated as the Democratic candidate for president, Ms. Harris raised $25 million. This number increased to $500 million in just about a month.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump and the Republicans raised $130 million in August, compared with $404 million for Ms. Harris and the Democrats.

The race for the White House between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump remains very close. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, Ms. Harris's lead over Mr. Trump nationwide is narrowing.

According to the Times, Ms. Harris’s fundraising haul may be the fastest ever by a presidential candidate. While Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump both raised more than $1 billion over a much longer period in 2020, Ms. Harris raised $1 billion in less than 80 days.

Presidential campaigns tend to raise more money as the election approaches, but a half-billion-dollar haul in a single month is unprecedented, according to NBC. The amount raised reflects donor enthusiasm ahead of the November 5 election, which will be used for advertising, operations in battleground states and staffing costs.
