Harris raised $82 million during DNC, $540 million since launch: Campaign

Vice President Kamala Harris raised $82 million the week of the Democratic National Convention, bringing her total haul since launching her candidacy last month to $540 million, her campaign said.

The sum is buttressed by nearly $40 million raked in during and after Harris delivered her acceptance speech at the convention on Thursday night, campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon said in a statement, which noted the campaign crossed the half-billion-dollar mark moments before she took the stage.

The hour after the vice president's remarks was the campaign's best fundraising hour, O'Malley Dillon said.

The total reflects what was raised between the campaign, the Democratic National Committee and their joint fundraising committees.

In addition to growing its financial war chest, a third of which was from new donors last week, the Harris campaign also saw its foot soldiers sign up for nearly 200,000 volunteer shifts during the convention—more than any other week, O'Malley Dillon said, with 90,000 shift sign-ups coming Thursday and Friday.

"We head into September with a virtual army of volunteers ready to do the hard work of talking to their neighbors, friends and colleagues," O'Malley Dillon wrote in the memo. "Meanwhile, Donald Trump's battleground infrastructure remains incredibly sparse."

"The Convention was a galvanizing moment for the Harris-Walz coalition throughout the country, energizing and mobilizing volunteer and grassroots donors alike," she later added, saying they will use the resources to reach voters "while Trump is focused on very little beyond online tantrums and attacking the voters critical to winning 270 electoral votes."
