Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris has raised more than $1 billion since entering the presidential race, a source familiar with the matter told CBS News.
The campaign has seen a donation windfall in the three months since Harris became the Democratic nominee.
In the 24 hours following President Biden's July 21 announcement that he was dropping out of the race alone, the vice president's campaign said it brought in $81 million, with the haul rising to more than $100 million by the end of July 22.
In August, the campaign said it raised $361 million, bringing the total to more than $615 million in fundraising since Harris had entered the race.
The campaign has yet to release the fundraising totals from September, due in part to concerns that touting the large sum could diminish donor interest in the remaining weeks, according to a source familiar. But the official reports of their latest fundraising will be publicly available in mid October.
