Vice President Harris’s campaign raised $361 million in August and has $404 million in cash on hand going into the last two months before Election Day, it announced Friday. Since Harris launched her campaign in July, after President Biden dropped out of the race, her ticket has raised more than $615 million, according to the campaign.

The campaign touted that the August haul was nearly triple former President Trump’s haul. The Trump campaign raised $130 million in August, which it said on Wednesday was fueled almost entirely by donations of less than $200. The Trump campaign has $295 million in cash on hand.

The Harris campaign said that its August haul was the best grassroots fundraising month in presidential history after nearly 3 million donors contributed throughout the month and 1.3 million donors contributed for the first time this cycle. It also said that of the first-time donors, three-quarters did not contribute in the last presidential election.

Additionally, the campaign said that 95 percent of August donations were under $200 and that teachers and nurses are the most common donor occupations. Over 60 percent of donors in August were women, and almost a fifth of donors were registered Republicans or Independents, according to the campaign.
