Democrats have poured more than $100m (£77m) in donations into Vice-President Kamala Harris' presidential bid since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday, her campaign says. The tally was boosted by what her team calls a record 24-hour period of fundraising - $81m raised. During that timeframe, more than 888,000 people donated sums of up to $200 each, according to progressive donation platform ActBlue.
Main Idea: Kamala Harris raised a record $81m in one day after Joe Biden left the presidential race, giving her campaign a major funding boost.
Key Points:
Campaign money can push more ads and political fights, which may leave voters more tired and divided.
Harris’s funding surge may help Democrats compete more strongly, giving voters a clearer choice and more campaign activity.
