  • In the first 24 hours following her Tuesday debate with ex-President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris amassed an impressive $47 million in contributions.
  • Nearly 600,000 individual donors contributed to the campaign committees and PACs supporting the Harris-Walz ticket, resulting in a $47 million sum, the campaign stated.

In the first 24 hours after her Tuesday night debate with former President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris raised $47 million, according to a campaign spokesman.

Another boost to Harris' fundraising operation has been provided by the massive figure, which has been a juggernaut since President Joe Biden endorsed her for president in July.

Nearly 600,000 individual donors contributed to the campaign committees and PACs supporting the Harris-Walz ticket, resulting in a $47 million sum, the campaign stated.

The debate, hosted by ABC News in Philadelphia, saw Harris emerge as the winner, with both Democratic and Republican strategists and elected officials agreeing that Trump was rattled by Harris' confrontational style and several instances where ABC News moderators fact-checked him in real-time.

The latest fundraising numbers for Harris indicate another setback for the Trump campaign, as they continue to trail behind in the fundraising race.

In August, the Harris political operation surpassed Trump's team's fundraising efforts by $231 million, with a total of $361 million raised.

The New York Times first reported the news of Harris' $47 million day.
