Nearly a quarter of a billion dollars was raised to support efforts to elect Vice President Kamala Harris after she announced her presidential campaign on Sunday, following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.

Harris’ campaign announced it raised $81 million through the Democrats’ online fundraising platform ActBlue in just 24 hours after launching her campaign, The New York Times reported. More than 880,000 people donated during that time, and 43,000 donors pledged to make recurring donations.

Big money donors also contributed $150 million during the same time period to Future Forward, the super PAC that was blessed by Biden, that will go toward backing efforts to elect Harris, POLITICO reported. The super PAC already had more than $120 million on hand at the end of last month.

“Future Forward will continue working to make sure Donald Trump is defeated in this election and those dangerous consequences are never felt by the American people,” the super PAC said in a statement.

Chris Korge, finance chair for the Biden Victory Fund, told NBC News that “the floodgates will open” to support Harris now that Biden is out of the way.

“There’s been a lot of people holding back contributions that will now contribute because the whole thing — that whole situation was paralyzing our fundraising,” he said.

He added that donors were giving out of emotion right now.

“Major donors are incredibly receptive of his endorsement and are genuinely excited,” he said. “I think this is going to create a tidal wave of donations.”

Harris declared herself the Democrat Party’s presumptive presidential nominee on Monday night after the majority of the party’s delegates indicated that they would flip from Biden to supporting her.

A tally from the Associated Press found that Harris has secured at least 2,668 delegates, none of whom are legally bound to vote for her, who have pledged to vote for her when they meet during the first week in August. Harris only needed 1,976 delegates to become the party’s nominee.

The 59-year-old Californian has never earned a single vote from Democrat primary voters in a presidential primary after dropping out of the party’s 2020 primary before voting even started.
