  1. Does anyone remember back in ‘16 when Clinton raising $60m in a month was astonishing? The amount money Harris is raising is bonkers.

  3. It’s her second-highest amount raised in a single day, second only to the day she joined the race after Biden dropped out!

  4. The top five uses of presidential campaign donations typically include:

    1. **Advertising**: The bulk of campaign funds go toward media ads—TV, radio, digital, and social media. This helps candidates reach large audiences with their message and build name recognition.

    2. **Staffing**: Campaigns require a large team, including strategists, consultants, event planners, and field organizers. Salaries and benefits for staff make up a significant portion of the budget.

    3. **Fundraising efforts**: Ironically, campaigns spend money to raise more money. This includes organizing fundraising events, direct mail, and digital outreach.

    4. **Travel and events**: Campaigning requires extensive travel for candidates and staff. Funds cover transportation, lodging, and venues for rallies, town halls, and debates.

    5. **Polling and research**: Polling, data analytics, and opposition research help campaigns understand voter preferences, track progress, and adjust strategies. These services can be costly but are critical for campaign decision-making.

  5. Unfortunately the candidate with the most money may or may not win. It’ll be interesting if the Trump/Harris debate will get more people out to the polls

    Hey folks, that’s the sign that Harris is going to kill Trump in the election.

    Not the polls. The polls are never right and do not represent the country.

    Donations from AMericans – best way to tell how things are leaning.

  7. I really hope they use this to keep/grow their wide field office advantage in swing states. I have no faith in so-called “undecideds” at this point and think this may come down to GOTV.

  8. I donate in dribs and drabs, always giving some after an event or big news day. Like to contribute to the big fundraising haul the media will report on.

  9. I figured she’d get a nice bump in donations and felt like donating again but I already gave her campaign over $100 and the down ballot races are just as important so so I gave to Vote Save America instead. We need a blue wave, not just a Kamala win!

  10. I donated $50 right before the debate started, I should have waited so I’d be included in this lol

  11. I’m 1000% voting Harris but I still don’t understand the rampant donations to candidates. Especially in a time when people say money is tight. Hard pass on giving my money to these people.
