Vice President Kamala Harris significantly outpaced former President Donald Trump in August, ending the month with more cash to fund her final sprint to the November election, according to new filings from the Federal Election Commission and CNBC.

Harris’ campaign raised more than $189 million in August, more than four times the $44 million raised by Trump’s campaign.

These figures reflect fundraising specifically for the candidate’s primary campaign accounts and do not include donations to the other branches of their political operations.

Harris’ campaign announced earlier this month a total of $361 million raised in August from campaign donations jointly with the Democratic National Committee and fundraising committees. That narrowed the gap created by the $130 million raised between Trump’s campaign and joint fundraising committees.

Those figures don’t factor in September’s donations, including the Harris campaign’s $47 million cash raise from nearly 600,000 donors in the 24 hours after the first and possibly only Harris-Trump debate.

The Harris campaign on Saturday accepted an invitation from CNN to hold a second debate on Oct. 23, but Trump declined, saying “it’s too late for another debate and the voting has already begun.”

Harris wave of donor excitement

The new FEC filings show a steady wave of donor enthusiasm for Harris, even as the initial hype for the Democratic candidate swap in July has died down. The entire political enterprise Harris collected $310 million in Julyafter President Joe Biden announced he was withdrawing his candidacy and endorsed her to take the Democratic nomination.

Harris has also flipped the donation loophole in favor of Democrats, erasing Trump’s fundraising lead and the Republicans before Biden left.

Since then, the Harris campaign has outspent Trump with an advertising blitz on television and digital platforms, along with other campaign expenses.

Harris and the DNC spent a combined $258 million in August, far more than the $121 million Trump and the RNC disbursed, according to FEC filings.

“As we enter the final stretch of this election, we’re making sure every hard-earned dollar goes to winning over the voters who will decide this election,” Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a press release earlier. this month.

Heading into the final sprint of the presidential race, Team Harris closed August with $404 million in cash, beating the $295 million reported by the Trump campaign.

“The Trump-Vance campaign has momentum going into the final stretch of the race,” said Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes. “These fundraising numbers from August are a reflection of that movement.”
