Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Harris Campaign Raises $500M Amid Transparency Concerns over Large Donations

HeadlineAug 22, 2024

In more election news, Kamala Harris has raised nearly $500 million over the past month, since President Biden dropped out of the race. Democrats expect the total to hit $600 million by the end of the month.

This comes as campaign reform advocates have called out both the Democratic and Republican campaigns for failing to disclose the source of some of their largest contributions, using a practice known as “bundling.” Bundlers collect large sums of money, but candidates are not required to disclose their information. The nonprofit group Issue One said disclosure is “a transparency practice that is a guardrail for good government, and to see both sides eroding that guardrail is concerning.”
