Kamala Harris, the Democratic VP nominee, has raised over $200 million in her first week of campaigning, reshaping the 2024 race. The majority of the donations come from first-time contributors, and more than 170,000 volunteers have signed up to help the campaign.
Harris has gained support from influential Democrats like Barack and Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. However, she faces attacks from Trump and his running mate J.D.
Vance, who are trying to paint her as a far-left politician. Despite this, polls show Harris and Trump neck-and-neck in swing states, with Harris leading by 6 points in Minnesota.
The fundraising efforts have exceeded expectations, with a recent event in Massachusetts raising over $1.4 million. Harris remains focused on the issues and has criticized Trump's threat to restrict rights, calling him a bully.
The campaign acknowledges that the race will be close and decided by a small number of voters in key states. Tensions in the Middle East have also intensified, with Harris urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire deal with Hamas.
