Joe Biden's campaign hauled in more than $12 million on Wednesday around the vice presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, marking another watershed cash day for the already flush Democratic presidential ticket.
A Biden campaign official confirmed the one-day total, another boon to the Biden campaign thats seen huge financial success around recent major events. Earlier this month, Biden brought in nearly $10 million in three hours around the first presidential debate against President Donald Trump alone, breaking the campaigns single-hour fundraising record.
Harris already demonstrated she can be a major fundraising driver for the Biden campaign, helping the ticket dip into pockets of money that had previously been less enthusiastic about Biden and driving online engagement. In the 48 hours after Biden named the California senator as his running mate, the campaign raised $48 million, averaging $1 million an hour.
Put together, these surges are part of an overall trend that has seen Biden, riding a wave of support from Democratic donors giving small amounts online, overtake President Donald Trump in fundraising and campaign spending in recent months. The Democrat recently eclipsed the president in terms of total cash in the bank, and the Biden campaign has used that edge to outspend the Trump campaign on paid advertising on TV and other platforms.
