Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign raised $540 million since she entered the race last month.

The campaign saw a surge in donations during the Democratic National Convention, bringing in $82 million during the week.

The campaign characterized the convention contributions as “unprecedented grassroots donations.”

It noted that the best hour of fundraising came after Harris delivered her highly anticipated speech on Thursday to accept the presidential nomination.

Campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon mentioned that the campaign is using the resources to build on momentum heading into Labor Day, with November’s election on the horizon.

A third of the contributions received during the DNC were first-time contributors, and two-thirds were from women. Volunteer engagement increased, with nearly 200,000 new volunteer shifts since the convention began.

The party quickly coalesced around Harris after President Biden left the race, with $200 million of the month’s fundraising coming in during the first week.

At the convention, prominent Democrats like former First Lady Michelle Obama, former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton encouraged Democrats to vote for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
