Harris' unprecedented fundraising haul is another sign of how much her move to the top of the Democratic ticket has reinvigorated the party of its donors. Biden clearly salvaged this race for his party by stepping aside. Maybe the only thing Trump can hope for is another criminal conviction to motivate his donors again.
If Harris is so proud of her fundraising prowess, she should follow the precedent of every other Democratic presidential nominee of the modern era and reveal the identities of her biggest contributors. Many of them are likely to play a role in her administration, so America deserves to know what they would be getting. It's said that transparency in campaigns is vanishing.
There's a 55% chance that Harris will be elected US president in 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
