Harris raised $189 million in campaign funds in August, four times more than Trump

Odaily News New Federal Election Commission filings show that Vice President Harris raised and spent far more money than former President Trump in August, and she will have more cash at the end of the month to make a final push for the November election. Harris' campaign raised more than $189 million in August, more than four times the $44 million raised by Trump's campaign. The figures reflect money raised specifically for the candidate's main campaign account and do not include donations to other arms of his political activities. Harris' campaign announced earlier this month that it raised a total of $361 million in campaign contributions in August in conjunction with the Democratic National Committee and fundraising committees. In contrast, the Trump campaign and its joint fundraising committees raised only $130 million. These figures do not include donations in September, which included $47 million in cash raised by Harris' campaign from nearly 600,000 donors in the 24 hours after the first and only debate between Harris and Trump. Harris' campaign accepted CNN's invitation on Saturday to hold a second debate on October 23, but Trump has so far firmly stated that he will not participate in the debate. (CNBC)
