Instead
Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has reached a remarkable fundraising milestone, raising $310 million in July.
That figure is more than double the $137 million Donald Trump’s campaign raised during the same period, according to a Politico report.
Significant cash advantage for Harris
Harris’ campaign and its affiliated committees currently have $377 million in cash on hand, giving her a $50 million lead over Trump, whose total assets are $327 million.
This financial advantage underscores the growing support for Harris since she entered the race following Joe Biden’s decision not to run for re-election.
Strong support among the Democrats
Harris has managed to mobilize Democrats across the country, with a recent Associated Press poll finding that about eight in 10 Democrats would be somewhat or very satisfied if she became the Democratic presidential nominee.
This broad support underlines Harris’ strong position within her party and allows her to continue her campaign.
Polls show Harris leads in key states
Harris’ campaign is also making great progress in the crucial swing states. A new poll by the conservative group Competitiveness Coalition shows that Harris is ahead of Trump in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by 48 to 45 percent and 48 to 46 percent, respectively.
In addition, the two are tied in Michigan at 45% each. These numbers show Harris’ growing appeal among voters in the states crucial to the 2024 presidential election.
Upcoming Campaign Tour
To capitalize on this momentum, Harris will travel to several major swing states next week, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.
During this five-day campaign tour, she will engage with voters and build on her current lead in these critical areas.
Announcement of the Vice President is imminent
Harris is expected to announce her vice presidential candidate by Tuesday next week.
The alleged finalists for the vice presidential post include Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The choice of her vice-presidential candidate will be crucial to further consolidating her campaign position.
JD Vance is under observation
Meanwhile, JD Vance has come under criticism for comments he made in 2021. In a speech to a Catholic group, he criticized Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her “sociopathic attitude” toward children and the family.
This controversy enriches the ongoing political discourse ahead of the 2024 elections.
In addition, according to a report in the Guardian, the Courage Tour, a tent tour with self-proclaimed prophets, is traveling through swing states to persuade Christians to vote for Trump.
This initiative highlights the different strategies used by different political groups to gain voter support.
Kamala Harris’ impressive fundraising and growing support among Democrats make her a strong candidate for the 2024 presidential election. With significant cash and favorable poll numbers in key states, her campaign is gaining momentum.
As she prepares to announce her vice presidential candidate and embarks on a crucial campaign tour, all eyes will be on how her strategy unfolds in the coming weeks.
