“Major Democratic donors are already flocking to Kamala Harris, and they say the main reason is straightforward: She’s not Joe Biden,” Politico reports.
“Her presidential campaign raised more than $200 million in its first week, and the Democratic super PAC Future Forward said it had received $150 million in commitments after Biden bowed out.
The wave of big-dollar donors, which is defying predictions that the vice president would not be able to appeal to the party’s fundraising class, has been particularly noticeable because of some donors’ previous aversion to giving to a president they saw as a doomed candidate.”
