Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign says it has now raised $540 million for its election battle against the Republican Donald Trump.
The vice-president’s campaign has had no problems getting supporters to open their wallets since Joe Biden took his presidential bid down on 21 July.
The campaign said it saw a surge of donations during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago where Harris and her vice-presidential running mate Tim Walz, accepted their nominations.
Trump's campaign announced in August that alongside its related affiliates, they had raised $138.7 million in July, which is less than what Harris took in during her candidacy’s opening week.
Trump’s campaign reported $327 million in cash on hand at the start of August.
