With 100 days to go until the presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris and her surrogates are barnstorming the country to try and make the case against Republican candidate Donald Trump.

On Sunday, the centennial milestone ahead of Election Day — and the one-week anniversary of President Joe Biden suspending his campaign and endorsing Harris — the vice president’s campaign announced an eye-popping fundraising sum: $200 million in less than a week, which the campaign touted as a “record-shattering haul.”


What You Need To Know

  • Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign announced in a memo it has raised $200 million in less than a week since launching her White House bid

  • The announcement comes with 100 days to go until November's presidential election

  • Of that figure, the campaign said, 66% came from first-time donors

  • The memo also touts more than 170,000 new volunteer sign-ups for the campaign, as well as endorsements and other forms of support for Harris' nascent bid against Republican candidate Donald Trump

Of that figure, the campaign said, 66% came from first-time donors.

“From record-breaking fundraising to unprecedented crowds and volunteers pouring into field offices across the battlegrounds, Team Harris is fired up to elect the Vice President and defeat the extremist Trump-Vance ticket,” Harris campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a memo. “The momentum and energy for Vice President Harris is real – and so are the fundamentals of this race: this election will be very close and decided by a small number of voters in just a few states.”

In the memo, Tyler also touts the campaign seeing more than 170,000 new volunteer sign-ups, endorsements from labor unions, Democratic power players and other advocates, as well as “organic support” in the form of highly popular Zoom calls across different coalitions — including Black women and men, white women and the LGBTQ+ community — which raised millions and attracted celebrities, athletes, musicians and more.

Harris held her first fundraiser in Massachusetts on Saturday as part of the weekend's events, which was set to raise $1.4 million -- which is $1 million+ more than the event was expected to bring in before Biden dropped out of the race.

“I will fight to move our nation forward,” Harris said in the Berkshires at an event headlined by musicians James Taylor and Yo-Yo Ma. “Donald Trump intends to take our country backwards.”

Other Harris surrogates were also on the campaign trail over the weekend, including her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, who stumped for the vice president in Wisconsin, and running mate hopefuls like Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who rallied hundreds of voters in Carlisle, just outside of the state capital of Harrisburg.

All told, the campaign said it scheduled more than 2,300 events in battleground states for its "weekend of action" to mark the milestone of 100 days out from the election.
