NEW YORK (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris raised $27 million at a packed New York City fundraiser on Sunday, her largest fundraising haul since she took over at the top of the ticket from President Joe Biden, according to a Harris campaign aide.
Though Harris has far more money than former President Donald Trump, the money will be needed to compete with pricey advertising by deep-pocketed outside groups that support Trump, said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private fundraising details.
It feels important to note that Harris and Trump don't need your money.
If a candidate can sell $27,000,000 worth of favors off a single event in New York City, then remember that your friends, neighbors, and community are struggling and their mutual aid requests can use your $5-$10 donation much, much more than the POTUS candidates, both of whom have billionaires in their corner.
100%. If you have $5-10 bucks to throw to the Democrats you could instead toss it to someone who actually needs it, like the UNRWA, or a local gofundme
Love the idea. I don't have much myself when it comes to donation money, so I just randomly picked an artist I'm friends with on social media and I send them $20-$40 a month as I'm able to. Can't help everyone, but I can 100% help that one person I know needs it.
And I "lent" (meaning basically gave) my parents my car.
Thank you for saying this. If you're not in a swing state, it feels like a waste to donate (although I wouldn't donate to her campaign anyways because of her policies). I don't support the duopoly and would prefer to see someone that needs the money actually receive it.
