Vice President Kamala Harris raised four times as much cash as former president Donald Trump in August and is headed into the presidential campaign’s final stretch with a huge cash advantage. The Harris campaign raised $189 million last month, dwarfing the $44 million brought in by the Trump campaign. In fact, Harris’ campaign on its own raised more money than the combined $130 million raised by the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and their other related committees. Combined Democratic efforts raised $361 million. Harris and the Democratic National Committee also used the enthusiasm-fueled cash advantage to spend a whopping $258 million in August, while Trump and the RNC spent just $121 million. But even with that spending disparity, Harris is still in a better position than Trump as Election Day approaches. Heading into the final weeks of the campaign, Harris had a $404 million war chest to end August, giving her a major advantage over the $295 million cash on hand for Trump.
