Trump Vs. Harris Fundraising Race: Harris Raises $540 Million Since Biden Dropped Out, Campaign Says

Vice President Kamala Harris’ entrance into the presidential election last month has blown up her fundraising race with former President Donald Trump, with the combined Biden and Harris campaigns raising more than four times as much as Trump in July and erasing the ex-president’s cash advantage—and Democrats say pro-Harris groups have raised over $500 million since Joe Biden left the race.

The Biden—now Harris—campaign committee raised $516.8 million and Trump’s campaign committee raised $268.5 million in total between January 2023 and July 31, 2024, the most recent date for which Federal Election Commission filings are available.

Harris also ended July with far more cash on hand than Trump—with $219.7 million to Trump’s $151.3 million—erasing a previous cash advantage the Trump campaign had at the end of June, before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

The Harris campaign raised $204.5 million in July alone, while the Trump campaign raised $47.5 million, shaking up what was previously a more evenly-matched cash race (Biden and Trump had raised $284.1 million and $217.2 million in total as of the end of June, respectively) as Harris entered the race on July 21 and quickly posted huge fundraising numbers, with her campaign reporting $81 million in donations in the first 24 hours of her campaign.
