- With Joe Biden out of the race, Donald Trump has become the oldest presidential nominee ever.
- Trump’s now facing off against Kamala Harris, 59, a woman decades younger.
- On Monday, Trump called himself a “fine and brilliant young man” while criticizing Harris.
She raised more money in a single day than Trump, the convicted felon and traitorous, treasonous, lying coward pedophile rapist.
It was her FIRST day, ever, as Presidential candidate.
And it was money raised through small donations. Something like a half million donors were donating for their first time.
Contrast to Trump, who gets an allowance from Elongated Muskrat
Over a million individual donors now, and counting.
That is… well, it sounds remarkable. What are previous figures for candidates?
In 2020, there were only 2 million individual donors, to any candidate or party, for the entire cycle. A million in a weekend is pretty impressive.
Before she’s even the nominee.
she raised the money as presumptive nominee, even more remarkable
Her first day campaining and apparently she just took the lead over him in the polls.

It was not, since she is not the candidate yet
She is a candidate. She’s not the nominee yet.
You’re a candidate as soon as you announce. There can be dozens or hundreds of candidates. You just don’t get to be on the ticket until you’re nominated by your party.
I’m a candidate.
I’ve raised about three fifty.
Better not tell Nessie.
She’s not a candidate?
Not officially yet.
Candidate, not nominee.
What is she, then, “officially”?
The Vice President?
She is indeed, officially:
“The Biden-Harris campaign on Sunday formally amended filings with the Federal Election Commission to rename its principal committee and declare Kamala Harris a candidate for president.”
If CNN is a problem for you, here’s the FEC filing:
