Vice President Kamala Harris’s massive fundraising advantage over former President Donald Trump fails to translate to a substantial polling lead.

Trump’s campaign overtook the Democrats in the first half of the year, buoyed by questions over the mental acuity of President Joe Biden. Major Democrats withheld further donations to the Democrats until Biden dropped out. Upon the transition to Harris, donors made up for the lost months of funding with a deluge of cash, out-fundraising Trump by significant margins.
