But Biden’s departure from the ticket on July 21 and Harris’ elevation turned the money spigot back on, as major Democratic donors committed $150 million to a pro-Democratic presidential super PAC, and small-dollar donors rushed to give to Harris’ presidential campaign.
A slew of Zoom fundraisers, drawing hundreds of thousands of supporters and celebrity appearances, also took off in recent days. The Harris campaign said those coalition calls, including Black Women for Harris, Latinas for Harris, and White Dudes for Harris, raised more than $20 million.
Two-thirds of the July total came from first-time donors, and a majority of the total was raised from donations of $200 or less, the campaign said. It also said it had seen growth among Gen Z and millennial donors, a constituency Biden struggled to excite.
“This is a history-making haul for a candidate who will make history this November,” Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement. “The tremendous outpouring of support we’ve seen in just a short time makes clear the Harris coalition is mobilized, growing, and ready to put in the work to defeat Trump this November.”
