NEW YORK (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris raised $27 million at a packed New York City fundraiser on Sunday, her largest fundraising haul since she took over at the top of the ticket from President Joe Biden, according to a Harris campaign aide.

Though Harris has far more money than former President Donald Trump, the money will be needed to compete with pricey advertising by deep-pocketed outside groups that support Trump, said the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private fundraising details.

100%. If you have $5-10 bucks to throw to the Democrats you could instead toss it to someone who actually needs it, like the UNRWA, or a local gofundme

Love the idea. I don't have much myself when it comes to donation money, so I just randomly picked an artist I'm friends with on social media and I send them $20-$40 a month as I'm able to. Can't help everyone, but I can 100% help that one person I know needs it.

And I "lent" (meaning basically gave) my parents my car.
