Kamala Harris Raises Record $27M in NYC Fundraiser Amid Economic Push

Vice President Kamala Harris raised a record $27 million at a New York City fundraiser, her largest single-event haul since leading the ticket. Although Harris has more funds than Trump, they are vital to combat his well-funded supporters. She also plans to outline her economic vision addressing challenges like homeownership and grocery bills.

Vice President Kamala Harris raised an impressive $27 million at a packed New York City fundraiser on Sunday, marking her largest fundraising event since becoming the top candidate on the ticket, according to a Harris campaign aide.

Although Harris holds a financial advantage over former President Donald Trump, these funds are crucial for competing against substantial advertising by well-funded external pro-Trump groups, the aide noted under anonymity to discuss private fundraising specifics.

The high-profile fundraiser, held at Cipriani Wall Street's grand Greek Revival ballroom, saw attendees crowded together as Harris took jabs at Trump for declining further debates. Harris emphasized the importance of another debate before Election Day, reiterating her stance to reporters outside Washington. Meanwhile, Trump cited early voting already underway as a reason to reject more debates.
