Kamala Harris race to the White House is gaining momentum as the current Vice President’s election campaign team raised $200 million.
In a record 36 hours, the team had raised $100 million before registering 170,000 volunteers since she was endorsed for the Presidency.
“In the week since we started, Kamala Harris has raised $200 million. 66 percent of that is from new donors. We have signed up 170,000 new volunteers,” said Kamala Harris’ deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty.

Last week, President Joe Biden confirmed that he will not be seeking re-election but instead endorsed his Vice President to battle it with former President Donald Trump.
However, according to Harris the next 100 days are crucial as they have phone calls to make and an election to win.
“In the next 100 days, we have work to do. We have doors to knock on, we have phone calls to make, and we have an election to win. I am deeply grateful for those who took part in our 100 Days Out Weekend of Action.” she said
