The vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, has aid that she is looking forward to formally accepting Democratic Party nomination after she raised more than $81 million, a day after President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race. 

The amount is believed to be the largest 24-hour fundraising in the history of the US presidential campaign. Recall that former President Donald Trump, who is the Republican Party candidate, raised more than $50 million in 24 hours after his felony conviction in the New York hush money trial. While President Biden gathered $38 million in four days after his “unimpressive” debate performance against Trump.

Harris also made her case against a second Donald Trump presidency.

The vice president who was recently endorsed by President Joe Biden, who withdrew from the 2024 presidential race, said this shortly after securing the support of enough Democratic delegates to become her party’s nominee.

“Tonight, I am proud to have secured the broad support needed to become our party’s nominee, and as a daughter of California, I am proud that my home state’s delegation helped put our campaign over the top,” Harris said, as quoted by the Guardian.

“Donald Trump wants to take our country back to a time before many of us had full freedoms and equal rights.

“I believe in a future that strengthens our democracy, protects reproductive freedom and ensures every person has the opportunity to not just get by, but to get ahead.”

It took 32 hours from Biden’s announcement that he would step aside to Kamala securing support from enough delegates.
