“This has been the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle. Small-dollar donors are fired up and ready to take on this election,” ActBlue wrote in an update.
Earlier Sunday, the organization said small-dollar donors raised over $27.5 million dollars within the first 5 hours of the announcement that Biden would endorse Harris’s campaign for the White House.
