Vice President Kamala Harris raised $47 million in a day after her debate against former President Donald Trump , a mammoth figure that came from more than 600,000 individual donations.

The New York Times reported the new fundraising figures on Thursday as Harris was riding a wave following her strong performance as the two faced off for the first time this week in Philadelphia.

This historic, 24-hour haul reflects a strong and growing coalition of Americans united behind Vice President Harris candidacy that knows the stakes this November, and are doing their part to defeat Donald Trump this November, Jen OMalley Dillion, Harris campaign chair, told The Associated Press.

The donations amounted to Harris best 24-hour fundraising period since the first tsunami of support when she replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket in July. Her first day as the presumptive nominee brought in $81 million, and she said earlier this month her campaign had more than $400 million in cash on hand.
