The campaign experienced a surge in donations during the Democratic National Convention, with a substantial $82 million raised in just one week. This influx of funds has been described as "unprecedented grassroots donations" by the campaign.

One of the standout moments for fundraising occurred after Harris delivered her highly anticipated speech on Thursday to accept the presidential nomination. The campaign reported that this hour saw the highest amount of donations since the launch.

Campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon expressed her enthusiasm about the overwhelming support received during the convention. She referred to it as a "galvanizing moment for the Harris-Walz coalition throughout the country," and noted that it energized and mobilized both volunteers and grassroots donors. O'Malley Dillon emphasized that these resources will be used to build on the momentum heading into Labor Day, with the November election on the horizon.

According to the campaign, one third of the contributions received during the Democratic National Convention came from first-time contributors, with two-thirds of them being women. This highlights the broad appeal and support that Harris has garnered among the electorate. Additionally, the campaign celebrated the engagement of volunteers, with nearly 200,000 new volunteer shifts recorded since the start of the convention.

The Democratic National Convention provided a platform for prominent figures within the party to endorse Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Delegates heard stirring speeches from former first lady Michelle Obama, former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton. Their passionate appeals encouraged Democrats to vote for Harris as the party's new standard-bearer.

This successful fundraising push comes only a month after President Biden left the race on July 21. The Democratic Party quickly rallied behind Harris, with a remarkable $200 million raised in the first week of her campaign. The party's unified support has created significant momentum as the campaign looks ahead to the crucial Labor Day period and the upcoming November election.

Kamala Harris' campaign has demonstrated its ability to generate substantial financial support from a diverse range of donors and volunteers. As the race intensifies, the campaign will undoubtedly utilize these resources to further spread its message and secure its place in history.
