Washington: Kamala Harris is doing wonders on behalf of the Democrats in the US presidential election. Kamala Harris, who is firmly established against Donald Trump, is proving to be Laxmi for the Democrats. Ever since Joe Biden has withdrawn from the election race and supported Kamala Harris, money has been pouring into the Democrats’ account. Yes, money is raining in the name of US Vice President Kamala Harris. Her election campaign is getting tremendous support. Kamala Harris has received donations of 200 million dollars (about ₹ 16,40,00,00,000 i.e. 16 billion rupees) in just one week.
According to Al Jazeera’s report, Kamala Harris’s campaign has raised a whopping amount of US $ 200 million (₹ 16,40,00,00,000) in less than a week. Announcing its latest fundraising on Sunday (US time), the Kamala Harris campaign team said that more than 66 percent of the donations were made by first-time donors in the 2024 elections. Not only this, more than 1,70,000 volunteers have signed up to help Kamala Harris’s campaign. These volunteers will help in many tasks related to phone calls, public relations and voting.
Trump was ahead of Biden
Campaign Communications Director Michael Tyler wrote in a memo, ‘People are clearly enthusiastic and excited for Vice President Kamala Harris. This election will be very close and voters in only a few states will decide it.’ Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s campaign said in early July that they had raised $331 million (about Rs 25 billion) in the second quarter, which is much more than the $264 million (about Rs 20 billion) raised by Joe Biden and his allies in the same time period.
How many does Trump have?
In fact, at the end of June, Donald Trump’s campaign had $284.9 million (about Rs 21 billion) in cash, while the Democratic campaign had $240 million (about Rs 18 billion) in cash at that time. Joe Biden’s candidacy weakened after his poor performance in the debate against Donald Trump on June 27. After this, he withdrew his name from the race and gave his support to Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris immediately got the support of the Democratic Party.
Kamala is getting support
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, former House Minority Whip Jim Clyburn, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton immediately announced their support. On Friday, the Democratic Party’s biggest fundraiser, former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama also announced their support for Harris. However, it will be decided in the Democratic National Convention to be held next month whether Kamala Harris will be able to become the party’s candidate or not.
A close contest between Kamala and Trump
Kamala Harris’s arrival has given new life to the Democrats’ campaign. It had become very weak in front of Donald Trump during Biden’s time. People of the Democratic Party were apprehensive about whether Biden would be able to defeat Trump or even if he wins, whether he would be able to remain in the White House. In this way, Kamala Harris is constantly proving to be Lakshmi for the Democrats. People are also joining the Democrats due to her candidature. Let us tell you that less than 100 days are left for the US presidential election. Opinion polls conducted last week show that there is going to be a tough competition between Kamala Harris and Trump.
