Harris Campaign Boosts Fundraising, Eyes Rural Voters

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign made a $47 million fundraising haul in 24 hours after facing former President Donald Trump in a debate. The campaign also plans to increase engagement with rural voters.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has made a significant fundraising haul, raking in $47 million from nearly 600,000 donors in the 24 hours following her debate with former President Donald Trump. The campaign chair, Jen O'Malley Dillon, attributed this success to the strong support behind Harris' candidacy and the importance of defeating Trump in the November election.

This fundraising surge reflects Harris' growing momentum as the Democratic nominee. In August, her campaign raised $361 million, triple the amount raised by Trump's campaign. The Harris campaign's financial advantage will allow it to amplify its message and reach out to more voters.

In addition to fundraising, the Harris campaign is focused on expanding its reach in rural areas. This effort is aimed at mobilizing a broader voter base and securing a decisive victory. Recognizing the importance of engaging with rural voters, the campaign has increased its communication with local media in swing states.

Harris' recent debate performance was a critical moment for her campaign. It was the first time she had faced off against Trump in person, and her strong showing has boosted her support. The debate also highlighted questions about Biden's ability to serve for another four years, leading to his withdrawal from the race.

The Trump campaign has not yet released any fundraising figures post-debate, but the Republican National Committee chair, Michael Whatley, expressed confidence in their financial resources. However, the Harris campaign's fundraising advantage could provide it with a significant advantage in the remaining months of the campaign.

Trump has ruled out participating in another debate with Harris, but she has emphasized the importance of having another face-off. The Vice President believes that the election and the issues at stake demand a further public discussion.
