This fundraising occurred after his campaign raised $361 million in August, compared to $130 million raised by Trump that month.
“While our fundraising program continues to demonstrate historic strength, we cannot take this momentum for granted,” said Harris campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon.in a statement to the media.
“We cannot underestimate the strength of the Trump team and its robust fundraising and organizing efforts intentionally designed to divide and sow doubt among Americans. “We cannot let up until we defeat Trump once and for all this November,” O’Malley said.
