U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris raised $55 million over two fundraising events this weekend, according to a campaign official.
The first event was held at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on Saturday, raising $27 million. The fundraiser featured former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and a performance by Andra Day, known for her song “Rise Up.”
Harris continued her fundraising efforts with a second event in downtown Los Angeles, collecting $28 million. This event included performances by Alanis Morissette and Halle Bailey and drew celebrity attendees such as Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Demi Lovato, Jessica Alba, Lily Tomlin, and Stevie Wonder.
During the events, Harris emphasized her economic policies, describing herself as a capitalist and framing the election as pivotal for the future of the country. She expressed confidence in her campaign's ability to win while acknowledging the challenges of being the underdog as the race nears its final stretch.
In August, Harris's campaign and the Democratic Party raised a combined $361 million, significantly outpacing Republican rival Donald Trump. Trump’s campaign, together with the Republican Party, raised $130 million in the same period.
As the Nov. 5 presidential election approaches, polls indicate a close race between Harris and Trump. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted earlier this month shows Harris leading Trump by a margin of 47% to 40%, although other polls suggest a tighter race
