Washington: The battle for the US presidency is showing a new color every day. Donald Trump is trying his best to win the presidential election. He is saying anything to defeat his opponent. Sometimes he calls Kamala Harris crazy and mad, and sometimes he questions her identity and color. In the latest political attack, Trump has made a racial comment on Kamala Harris and asked whether Kamala is Indian or black. Despite this, Donald Trump is getting tough competition from Kamala Harris. In terms of donations, Donald Trump is seen lagging behind Kamala Harris. Yes, in July, Donald Trump’s campaign team has received 137 million dollars in donations, which is less than Kamala Harris’s total donations in the first week.
‘Trump started filling water in front of Kamala’
Former President Donald Trump’s election campaign and people associated with it have said that they have raised $138.7 million i.e. about 11 billion rupees in donations last month. This amount received by Trump is much less than his new opponent Vice President Kamala Harris in the elections to be held in November. Kamala Harris had raised more money than this in the first week of her White House campaign.
How much money does Trump have right now?
Donald Trump’s election campaign team says that they currently have $327 million i.e. about 27 billion rupees in cash and now just over three months are left for the elections. However, Kamala Harris’ election campaign has not yet given information about the donations received in July. Also, it has not been told how much money they have in total. But Team Kamala says that since her entry in the Vice President’s election, the number of new donations and workers has increased significantly.
Where did Trump get his momentum from?
It is important to mention here that former President Donald Trump’s election campaign, Republican National Committee and other organizations had earlier reported that they had raised $331 million in the three months ending in June. This means that the amount of donations received in July is higher than the pace of donations received in the last three months. One reason behind this could also be that on July 13, Trump was attacked during a rally in Pennsylvania. After this, his supporters stood firmly with him. After this, he declared Ohio Senator JD Vance as his candidate at the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee.
Now money is raining in the name of Kamla
However, the reality is that there was a time when Democratic leaders were worried that President Joe Biden might face defeat in November. But the tables turned as soon as Kamala Harris entered the fray. The contest became fifty-fifty. Donors to the Democrats gave so much money that Kamala Harris’s team reported receiving $200 million in the first week on July 21. This was the first week after Joe Biden withdrew from the election race.
