Stunningly Good DNC Fundraising and Volunteer Numbers Reported!

Wow, the Harris-Walz momentum continues. According to a memo from Harris-Walz campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon released today, the campaign raised $82 million during the DNC convention this week, with the best hour coming after Harris delivered her acceptance speech. A third of those donations came from first-time contributors. Two-thirds of the first-time donors were women and one-fifth were young voters. In total the campaign has raised $540 million since it launched last month, which is “a record for any campaign in history,” according to the memo.

What’s more, volunteers signed up for nearly 200,000 shifts during convention week, which marked the biggest week of organizing since the start of the campaign, according to the memo.
