Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign raised $200 million in its first week of activity. According to an official statement from his team, the figure obtained reflects a resounding support from the electorate, highlighting that a significant percentage of the contributions come from new donors.
Additionally, Harris has experienced a surge in popularity among American voters. The latest Ipsos/ABC News poll reveals an eight-point increase in his approval rating, bringing it to 43%.This rise comes after the formal announcement of her candidacy, which has also led to a decrease in unfavorable opinion towards her, which has dropped from 46% to 42%.
On the contrary, Republican candidate Donald Trump has seen his support decline. The same poll shows a four-point drop in his popularity, now at 36%, a significant drop from 40% recorded after the recent assassination attempt against him.
With this base of support and funding, Kamala Harris is preparing for an electoral contest that is shaping up to be highly competitive. The vice president, who is running to be the Democratic Party’s candidate in the November 5 electionwill face Trump in a battle that promises to define the political future of the United States.
