From CNBC
Democrats are uniting behind Vice President Kamala Harris, after President Joe Biden’s surprise announcement Sunday that he would end his teetering re-election campaign.
Harris’ newly launched campaign said it has raised $49.6 million in grassroots donations in the less than one day.
The Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue processed $67 million in contributions on Sunday alone, according to an automated tracker.
And some major Democratic donors — among them heiress Abigail Disney — who previously paused their contributions out of concerns about Biden tell CNBC they’re ready to back Harris.also
A political action committee that was supporting Biden’s campaign before he dropped out of the race for president has received $150 million in new commitments since his departure from the campaign and endorsement of Harris.
Future Forward, the super PAC, confirmed to NBC News that it has secured a staggering $150 million in new commitments from donors in just the past 24 hours.
This is from donors who were previously stalled, uncertain or uncommitted, per a senior aide at Future Forward, according to NBC News.
