Vice President Kamala Harris drew more than 2.4 million donors in her first 11 days at the top of the Democratic ticket — nearly 200,000 more contributors than during the entirety of President Joe Biden’s year-plus long campaign.

The surge in donors resulted in $201 million in individual contributions for her campaign and the Democratic Party over that period, according to the latest Federal Election Commission data.
