Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at her campaign headquarters in Wilmington on July 22, 2024.

According to a campaign spokesperson, Kevin Munoz, Ms.

Harris' team raised more than **$81 million** in the 24-hour period following President Biden's announcement.

This massive sum, which includes money raised across the campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and joint fundraising committees, represents the largest 24-hour sum reported by either side in the 2024 campaign.

Ms.

Harris' campaign stated that it was the largest single-day total in U.

S.

history.

'The historic outpouring of support for Vice President Harris represents exactly the kind of grassroots energy and enthusiasm that wins elections,' Mr.

Munoz said.

Hours earlier, Future Forward, the largest super PAC in Democratic politics, announced it had secured **$150 million** in commitments over the same period from donors who were 'previously stalled, uncertain, or uncommitted,' a senior adviser said.

Together, the fundraising explosion puts Ms.

Harris in a dominant position to secure the Democratic Party's formal presidential nomination at next month's national convention—if not sooner.

The donor class's embrace comes as she locks up endorsements from the vast majority of Democratic governors and members of Congress.

The huge haul also ensures that Ms.

Harris and her allies can compete with Donald Trump, who has generated stunning fundraising totals of his own in recent weeks as he fights to return to the White House.

'This is the next generation people have been waiting for,' Michael Kempner, a member of Biden's national finance team, said of Ms.

Harris' emergence.

'The donors I've spoken to are enthusiastic about supporting her.

And even those that may have preferred an open convention have quickly coalesced around her overnight.

'Harris' initial 24-hour fundraising total easily surpassed the **$50 million** Trump raised immediately after felony convictions and the **$38 million** Mr.

Biden secured over the four days following last month's disastrous debate performance.

The Trump campaign has not disclosed how much it raised immediately after last weekend's assassination attempt; a spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
