• The over hour long call featured dozens of major financiers backing Harris.

On Wednesday, allies of Vice President Kamala Harris met on a private Zoom call to discuss strategies for defeating former President Donald Trump.

Over a dozen major financiers, including Avenue Capital CEO Marcy Lasry, Centerview Partners co-founder Blair Effron, Lazard President Ray McGuire, former Treasury Secretary and veteran banking executive Robert Rubin, businessman Tony Coles, Paul, Weiss chairman Brad Karp, founder of 32 Advisors Robert Wolf, longtime asset manager Brian Mathis, and Jon Henes, CEO of C Street Advisory Group, backed Harris during a call that lasted over an hour, according to sources.

CNBC was the first to report on the scheduled call Tuesday morning, and those who spoke to them did so anonymously to discuss private matters.

The major players in finance and business gathered for the first time since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race to discuss organizing a large-scale fundraising effort for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.

Someone on the call stated that we need to raise a significant amount of funds.

According to sources, Rufus Gifford, the finance chair for the Harris campaign, answered questions and comments on the call and urged people to donate and assist in fundraising efforts for the campaign.

The campaign aims to maintain Vice President Harris's fundraising momentum by continuing to raise money, as evidenced by this call and others like it. Since Biden endorsed Harris on Sunday, the campaign has already surpassed $100 million in funds.

Some on the call suggested that the campaign intensify its efforts to engage with Black voters, while others requested more information from the Harris campaign, including a detailed plan for the Democratic National Convention, another participant stated.

According to sources on the call, discussions took place regarding Harris' stance on the conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as her views on economics and technology.

In August, Harris will lead the Democratic nomination at the convention in Chicago after obtaining the roll call votes.
