Numbers don't lie: Harris campaign is crushing Trump

The energetic, enthused, and huge crowds that Americans are seeing on prime time television coverage of the Democratic National Convention are no anomaly. The Harris-Walz campaign’s momentum is not confined to the convention or to rallies—and it’s putting the Trump-Vance campaign to shame.

Just look at the fundraising: Vice President Harris raised an unprecedented $500 million—half a billion dollars!—in donations in the one month since President Joe Biden stepped aside and handed her the reins to the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. That included $204.5 million in the last two weeks of July alone. But what’s remarkable is that $119 million of that haul came from small-dollar donors. That’s a lot of regular people who are excited about her campaign.

By contrast, Donald Trump raised just $47.5 million in July and a measly $8.35 million came from direct donations to the campaign, rather than committees.
