CHICAGO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' election effort has raised around $500 million since she became the Democratic presidential candidate, an unprecedented money haul that reflects donor enthusiasm going into the Nov. 5 election, Caspian Energy Media reports with reference to Reuters.
Four sources familiar with the fundraising effort told Reuters that figure had been banked for Harris in the four weeks since she jumped into the race on July 21.
Campaign cash is critical for advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts that help bring people to the polls and persuade undecided voters to swing a candidate's way.
