In the waning days of President Joe Biden's doomed reelection campaign, Californians were contributing a tepid $176,000 a day on average to his campaign. But the moment Vice President Kamala Harris took his place, donations from her home state skyrocketed tenfold, then remained buoyant, funneling into her war chest at roughly $1 million a day. The particularly sharp rise in contributions shows that Democrats like her are excited by her as a candidate and also think they have a real shot at winning.
Trump's financial support in the heavily Democratic Golden State, meanwhile, is a fraction of Harris's, reflecting his measure of support at the ballot box here when he lost reelection to Biden in 2020. A third of California voters cast their ballots for Trump four years ago, and now as Trump faces Harris in his second attempt at another term, only a quarter of all the donations from Californians are going to Trump.
