US Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign raised more in August than the entire Republican campaign, including former President Donald Trump's campaign, according to Axios.
This indicates that Trump's fundraising efforts have stalled in recent months, while Harris has managed to surpass the previously low fundraising levels of the Democrats, a period when current President Joe Biden was the presidential candidate.
According to the Federal Election Commission, coordinated efforts brought Harris and her committees $361 million in August, while Trump's campaign and its affiliated committees raised $130 million.
Specifically, Harris's presidential campaign raised nearly $190 million in August, surpassing the $130 million collected by Trump’s campaign, the Republican Party, and other supporting committees.
Notably, Trump's campaign announced on Friday evening that it raised $44.5 million in August, with about $135 million in the campaign's account.
As Axios reports, this caused panic within the Republican Party on Saturday morning, as Republicans come to terms with the fact that Trump effectively received no funding after the presidential debate with Harris on September 10 on ABC News, which was viewed by 67 million people.
In summary, Axios concluded that with less than 45 days until the election, it is unlikely Trump will close the fundraising gap with Harris.
Additionally, NBC News reports that both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump see Polish Americans as key to victory in Pennsylvania. More details on this can be found in the material by RBC-Ukraine.
