Kamala Harris Raises $27 Million in Major NYC Fundraiser Amid Economic Campaign Push

Vice President Kamala Harris raised $27 million at a New York City fundraiser, marking her largest haul since leading the ticket. At the event, Harris criticized Trump for avoiding further debates and outlined her economic vision. The latest poll shows Harris gaining on economic issues, which are pivotal for many voters.

Vice President Kamala Harris raised a hefty $27 million during a packed fundraiser held in New York City on Sunday. This marks her largest fundraising total since taking over as the lead candidate from President Joe Biden, according to a campaign aide.

Despite having more funds than former President Donald Trump, Harris faces competition from wealthy outside groups backing Trump, prompting her to emphasize the importance of continued debates. Speaking to a crowded ballroom at Cipriani Wall Street, Harris called out Trump for refusing additional debates, urging more discussions before Election Day.

Harris also outlined her economic vision, focusing on investing in the American people's aspirations while addressing high home ownership costs and grocery bills. Criticized for slow policy releases, Harris aims to differentiate herself from Biden's economic record and Trump's policy proposals. The new poll indicates that the economy remains a crucial issue for voters, with Harris making strides against Trump.
