The Democratic Party is enjoying a fundraising boon following President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the presidential race. Following Biden's endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party's standard bearer, $81 million poured in from donors across the country in the first 24 hours.
This, according to the Harris campaign, which said the figure represented the largest one-day haul in U.S. history.
It said, according to NBC News, that the amount came from contributions including 880,000 grassroots donors, most of whom reportedly said it was their first donation of the campaign cycle.
“The historic outpouring of support for Vice President Harris represents exactly the kind of grassroots energy and enthusiasm that wins elections," Harris for President Spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement. "Already, we are seeing a broad and diverse coalition come together to support our critical work of talking to the voters that will decide this election."
