Harris and Trump hit whopping $2.5B in campaign, PAC fundraising — but don’t break 2020 records

The presidential contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump has become a money pit, with the candidates’ campaign committees and associated political action committees combining to raise a whopping $2.5 billion.

The Harris-Walz campaign, hybrid committees, aligned PACs and super PACs have raised an astounding $1.39 billion — including some funds transferred from President Biden’s defunct campaign — in the three months since the 81-year-old commander-in-chief announced July 21 he would end his bid for re-election.
