According to Rob Flaherty, the deputy campaign manager for the US vice president, 170,000 new volunteers have signed up for the campaign, and 66% of the cash have been generated from new donors.
Amid concerns about his age and health after a string of missteps and a wobbly debate performance against 78-year-old Donald Trump in late June, US President Joe Biden, 81, withdrew from the race last Sunday.
Mr. Biden has backed Ms. Harris in the November election against Mr. Trump, the outgoing president, and has promised to continue serving as president until the conclusion of his term.
Most of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention have endorsed her, most certainly.
Her takeover has given the Democratic campaign new life after it had severely stumbled due to uncertainty over Joe Biden’s chances of defeating Donald Trump and his capacity to hold onto power should he win.
According to several polls, Ms. Harris’s entry eliminated Mr. Trump’s lead over Mr. Biden in a couple of days.
