According to a report by Golden Finance, Vice President Kamala Harris raised and spent significantly more than former President Donald Trump in August, leaving her with more cash on hand at the end of the month for the November election's final push. Harris's campaign raised over $189 million in August, more than four times the $44 million raised by Trump's campaign. These figures reflect fundraising for the primary campaign accounts specifically for the candidates, not including donations to other parts of their political operations.

Harris's campaign announced earlier this month that their joint fundraising total with the Democratic National Committee and the campaign committee for August reached $361 million. This dwarfs the $130 million raised by Trump's campaign and its joint fundraising committees.
