The eyepopping sum showing that donors who once seemed spooked about the prospects for November’s election with President Joe Biden are now offering mountains of cash to boost his former No. 2.
The haul by Harris, the Democratic National Committee and affiliated entities far outpaced Republican former President Donald Trump, whose campaign and assorted committees said they took in $138.7 million for July.
Meawhile, President Joe Biden says he’s spoken to Vice President Kamala Harris about her search for a vice presidential candidate for 2024.
But when it comes to weighing in on the qualities she should look for in a candidate, “I’ll let her work that out,” he said on Friday.
Biden was speaking on the South Lawn before he left for Wilmington, Delaware, this weekend.
Harris is the likely Democratic presidential nominee after Biden dropped out of the race. She has said she will announce her choice soon; she’s supposed to go out campaigning with her running mate next week.
