While other presidential candidates, together with their parties, have passed that threshold before, the sheer speed with which Ms. Harris and her affiliated party committees raised the sum is notable. And it's more than former President Donald J. Trump has announced raising in all of 2024.

Everything about Harris' campaign is unprecedented considering the circumstances.

80 days if I'm counting it right.

Big pharma, big banking, big tech, the military industrial complex, and government workers are expecting to get a good ROI. Just like they did with Clinton, Obama and Biden.

Trump sells out for much cheaper. It only took a $400k bribe to make him totally reverse his position on bud light.

Eventually we'll learn where it came from.

and when it's revealed much of it came from special interests who have traditionally given to the GOP......expect a big yawn from those who pretend this really bothers them.

Yes because there's nothing scandalous about people acting in their own self interest by fighting fascism.

She raised a billion dollars and didn't sell a single gold tennis shoe or $100,000 watch or a piece of her clothing?

Amazing.

She sold the Federal Government. Didn't cost her a cent.

And she didn't steal it from charity fundraisers either.

The government was stolen. From us. And it's being sold by Harris for 1 billion dollars. A bargain.

"And it's being sold by Harris for 1 billion dollars."

Proving, once again, nothing pisses off a Republican more than when Democrats do what Republicans already did.

If it wasn't for projection and gaslighting Trump Republicans would have no unified agenda whatsoever.

They take credit for the success of others (Obama set the economy's course for Trump's term, Trump didn't do a single thing other than cut taxes skewed toward the wealthy), take zero responsibility for their own failures (Afghanistan withdrawal agreement, tying the hands of Biden and allowing thousands of ISIS/Taliban prisoners freedom, including the bomber who killed our troops during the withdrawal) and then complain when the Democrats don't fix all the problems quickly enough that they created or failed to positively address.

These politicians should take this money and have a million dollar a day charity tour. People write to them and explain why they need the money for a new school, swimming pool or park in the poor neighborhood, a hospital wing or some new condos for the elderly and the politician picks which ones are worthy and then arrange a tour to have an event to showcase what the million dollars will do for this person or community and then the press will follow. Otherwise, only the greedy PR films will spend the money on dumb advertisements. Instead let the press know that every single day leading up to the election(s) you will hand out the money for these special important things.
