The presumptive nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris to run for the Democratic Party in November's presidential election continues to make waves in US politics.
The Harris campaign team said on Sunday that in her first week since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, and the party coalesced around her, the candidate raised over $200 million (€184 million) in donations.
"In the week since we got started, Kamala Harris has raised $200 million dollars. 66% of that is from new donors. We've signed up 170,000 new volunteers," Harris' deputy campaign manager, Rob Flaherty, posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The party will hold an online vote at the beginning of August which is likely to officially confirm Harris's nomination for the general election.
With 100 days left to go until most voters cast their ballot, Harris has already caught up with the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, according to the latest polls.
