This historic achievement comes at a critical juncture, setting the stage for a pivotal election year with enormous implications for the nation.

This milestone follows a record-breaking fundraising effort in July, with the campaign raising an astonishing $310 million. Notably, two-thirds of this sum came from first-time donors, highlighting the grassroots enthusiasm and support for Harris’s candidacy.

Upon declaring her candidacy, Vice President Harris emphasized her commitment to earn the nomination and win the presidency. “It is my intention to go out and earn this nomination and to win,” she stated.

She posed a crucial question to the nation: “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, compassion, and rule of law, or a country of chaos, fear, and hate?” Harris underscored the power of democracy, emphasizing that every individual has the ability to shape the future.

“We are going to win this election,” Harris affirmed, rallying her supporters to engage with their communities, connect with voters, and spread the campaign’s message. She emphasized that the campaign is about the future and the expansion of rights and freedoms, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

With just 95 days until November 5th, Harris acknowledged the challenges ahead but expressed confidence in the campaign’s ability to succeed. “As your future president, I know we are up to this fight. And when we fight, everyone will say in unison, we win.”
