Hart's first defense further enhanced the ability of Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris to make money.
According to media reports, a spokesperson for Harris' campaign team stated that Harris raised $47 million within 24 hours after his debate with former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday night.
It is worth noting that this is Harris' largest 24-hour fundraising since running for president.
This huge number is another boost for Harris' fundraising campaign. Since US President Biden announced his withdrawal from the race in July this year and supported Harris' presidential campaign, her fundraising efforts have been unstoppable.
The Harris campaign team stated that the $47 million came from nearly 600000 individual donors who donated to one of several campaign committees and political action committees supporting Harris and his running mate Tim Waltz.
The Harris campaign team warned not to claim the debate as Harris' victory when announcing the latest fundraising results, as there is still a long way to go before November and funds are still flowing to Trump through political action committees and external groups.
On Tuesday evening local time, Trump and Harris had their first televised debate, engaging in heated debates on topics such as the economy, abortion, immigration, Gaza conflict, and Ukraine crisis.
Harris is widely regarded as the winner of this debate. She appeared more calm and composed, and repeatedly tempted Trump to deviate from her own views. Her outstanding performance in the debate has been praised by Democrats and authorities. However, Trump was repeatedly provoked by Harris and showed signs of unease.
A quick CNN poll found that 63% of viewers believe Harris' debate performance is better than Trump's.
Harris' latest fundraising numbers mark the latest blow to the Trump campaign team, which has been lagging behind Harris in fundraising activities.
Harris' political operations team recently announced that they raised $361 million in August alone, more than double the $130 million raised by Trump's team in the same month.
