NEW YORK (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris raised $27 million at a packed New York City fundraiser on Sunday, her largest fundraising haul since she took over at the top of the ticket from President Joe Biden, according to a Harris campaign aide.

Though Harris has far more money than former President Donald Trump, the money will be needed to compete with pricey advertising by deep-pocketed outside groups that support Trump, said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private fundraising details.

    Thank you for saying this. If you’re not in a swing state, it feels like a waste to donate (although I wouldn’t donate to her campaign anyways because of her policies). I don’t support the duopoly and would prefer to see someone that needs the money actually receive it.
