Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign has made a dramatic impact, raising an astonishing $200 million and enlisting 170,000 new volunteers within a week of her becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate. This extraordinary momentum highlights the enthusiastic support for Harris as she steps into the race for the 2024 election.
Former President Barack Obama, along with former First Lady Michelle Obama, has publicly endorsed Harris, offering their full support. In a significant show of unity, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also threw their weight behind Harris, following President Joe Biden’s decision to end his reelection bid and endorse her candidacy. This powerful coalition underscores Harris’s broad appeal within the Democratic Party.
Despite this wave of endorsements, Harris continues to face criticism from Republicans regarding her tenure as vice president. However, her campaign’s rapid fundraising success and volunteer mobilization suggest strong grassroots support.
Rob Flaherty, Harris’s deputy campaign manager, highlighted the campaign’s impressive achievements. “There’s 100 days until Election Day, so here’s a fun one: In the week since we got started, Kamala Harris has raised $200 million dollars. 66% of that is from new donors. We’ve signed up 170,000 new volunteers. A people-powered campaign for a people-powered presidency!”
With such remarkable early success, Kamala Harris’s campaign is poised to make a significant impact in the 2024 presidential race, bolstered by high-profile endorsements and a groundswell of grassroots support.
