$36 million
Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign raised $36 million in the 24 hours after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) was added to the ticket, The Hill reports.
$20 million
Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate has been another fundraising boon for the Democratic presidential ticket, the AP reports. Her campaign announced shortly before 6:30 p.m. that it has raised more than $20 million since the vice president unveiled the Minnesota governor as her running mate.
50%
A new Morning Consult poll finds 50% of voters say Donald Trump is “too old” to be president. By contrast, only 12% say the same of Kamala Harris, compared with 70% who said the same of Biden.
$100 billion
A new study shows that undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in federal, state and local tax revenue in 2022 while many are shut out of the programs their taxes fund. The findings run counter to anti-immigrant rhetoric that undocumented immigrants are “destroying” social programs, reported the Florida Phoenix. In 40 states, undocumented immigrants paid higher tax rates than the top 1% of the income scale in those states, according to a study released Tuesday from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning, nonprofit think tank.
79%
A new Associated Press poll shows that 79% of Democrats are satisfied with Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee — more than double the 37% who were satisfied with Joe Biden as the nominee in a poll earlier this month.
$4 million
A star-studded live video call under the rubric “White Dudes for Harris” urging white men to vote for Kamala Harris raised about $4 million on Monday night for the U.S. Democratic presidential candidate, attracting over 190,000 people including ‘Star Wars’ actor Mark Hamill and singer Josh Groban, Reuters reports.
$5 million
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday said it will spend $5 million to buy seasonal flu shots and get livestock workers vaccinated this fall, working with state and local officials. Another $5 million will be spent to promote the shots, reports the Associated Press.
47% to 46%
A new Morning Consult poll finds Kamala Harris edging Donald Trump nationally in the presidential race, 47% to 46%. Perhaps more interesting is that Harris’s favorability is now 50% to 46% — up from 43% to 51% last week.
$83 million
“Donald Trump’s Save America PAC has paid at least $83 million to 80+ law firms and individual attorneys representing him and current and former aides since January 2022,” Axios reports. “Just $827,000 was paid in June — the first time a monthly total has dipped below $1 million in two years.”
$200 million
“Kamala Harris’s campaign has raised more than $200 million since President Biden endorsed her last Sunday and terminated his own presidential bid — with two-thirds of the vice president’s haul coming from first-time donors,” the Washington Post reports. “Harris campaign aides said they have recruited 170,000 new volunteers since last Sunday and are holding 2,300 events to mobilize grassroots supporters this weekend.”
