Harris Raises “Record For Any Campaign In History”

The Washington Post reports:

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has raised $540 million since it launched last month, including a surge bolstered by the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and a total that amounts to “a record for any campaign in history,” according to a memo released Sunday by the campaign.

The campaign raised $82 million during the convention last week, with the best hour coming after Harris delivered her acceptance speech Thursday night, according to the memo from Harris campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon.
