Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ campaign managed to raise$ 1 billion in three months, or$ 378 million in September alone, so the quarter that ended in September has been the biggest fund-raising quarter ever. And Trump’s plan raised$ 160 million in September despite Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, backing him.
According to an NYT record, Harris plan entered October with$ 348 million on hands and Trump campaign with$ 283 million.
Kamala Harris was viewed as the winner of the ABC News national conversation, and she has out-raised and outspent Trump every quarter since Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the competition.
Past record-holder is Joe Biden
Joe Biden likely held the record for the highest fund-raising third across all party committees in the second quarter of 2020, when his campaign raised$ 888 million. For both Biden-Harris and Donald Trump, the September portfolio this year is lower than the September 2020 target.
According to the NYT report, Trump has consistently raised less income than his 2020 campaign goal, which he attributed to the challenge that his low-dollar fundraising equipment is having to keep up with the pace set four years ago. Trump’s promotion is using some cash crunch tactics, including by displacing some of its earlier campaign spending.
After spending some$ 102 million in September, the Democratic National Committee had$ 46. 6 million on hands.
Great sponsors for Harris
Future Forward is the main big-money pro-Harris party, but her plan did not reveal the biggest donation. A dozen Democratic businessmen gave eight-figure investigations to Future Forward in September, including governors Chris Larsen and Dustin Moskovitz, two of whom gave about$ 10 million each. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois gave$ 5 million.
Great sponsors for Trump
Timothy Mellon, the heir to the Gilded Age banking fortune, put$ 25 million more into a pro-Trump super PAC, MAGA Inc. Mellon has now donated a staggering$ 150 million this cycle to that group, which entered October with$ 59 million on hand. Mr. Trump’s recently appointed change co-chair, Linda McMahon, also donated$ 5 million.
