Kamala Harris has set a historic fundraising record by raising $310 million in July, according to her campaign. This significant amount surpasses the $138.7 million raised by her Republican rival Donald Trump’s campaign. Harris, who is now the presumptive Democratic nominee following Joe Biden's withdrawal, has garnered remarkable grassroots support.

Notably, two-thirds of the contributions came from first-time donors, highlighting the campaign’s wide-reaching appeal. Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Harris's campaign manager, emphasized the unprecedented nature of this accomplishment, pointing out the energetic and mobilized coalition behind Harris.

If elected, Harris would make history as the first woman, Indian-American, Asian, Black woman, and first person of Jamaican descent to become U.S. President. The campaign's war chest now stands at $377 million, the largest ever at this point in a presidential election cycle.
