Kamala Harris' campaign made waves by raising a staggering $36 million within 24 hours of announcing Tim Walz as her running mate, trumping Biden's previous record-setting VP pick haul by $10 million.

The Harris-Walz ticket isn't just making cash registers sing—they're making political history. By securing a jaw-dropping $36 million on the first day after Walz's selection, they're showcasing a financial prowess that overshadows even Biden's initial haul when he announced Harris as his own VP. With millions rolling in and a month of fundraising that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous, this dynamic duo is not only shaping up to empty the pockets of ardent supporters but perhaps also the opposing camps' hopes.

Kamala Harris' campaign doesn't stop at a record-breaking $36 million day-one fundraising haul. The campaign's July numbers hit an astronomical $310 million, dwarfing Trump's comparatively modest $138.7 million for the same period. It appears folks are voting with their wallet—and they aren't skimping.

In the week following President Biden's withdrawal and endorsement of Harris, her campaign coffers swelled by another $200 million. It's safe to say that any doubts about Harris' ability to galvanize the Democratic base—and perhaps a few wallets—have been unequivocally torched.

With the Democratic nomination now officially hers, Kamala Harris has set her sights on the battleground states. The Harris-Walz campaign is making strategic stops in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, areas that may very well decide the fate of the upcoming elections. Each event seems to attract larger crowds, potentially a sign of growing momentum. Rumor has it, even a few undecided squirrels showed up for a closer look.

Tim Walz, Harris' pick for Vice President, brings more than just headline-grabbing fundraising capabilities. Known for his tenure as a governor and background as a veteran, teacher, and coach, Walz also boasts a personal rapport with Harris. Their connection reportedly played a significant role in her decision-making process. Clearly, she decided to go with someone who can not only shake hands but can also give a stern 'teacher look' if necessary.

Rumors had circled that Harris was considering other top Democrats like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and Senator Mark Kelly. Yet, it was Walz who made the final cut—and the proof, they say, is in the financial pudding.

Now, the Harris-Walz team sits on a veritable mountain of cash. With $377 million in hand at the end of July compared to Trump's $327 million, the campaign isn't just ahead in the polls but also in the bank. Not too shabby for a ticket still fresh from the oven.

While political pundits have long debated the significance of fundraising in presidential campaigns, one thing is clear: The Harris-Walz ticket has struck a nerve—and a potentially very deep vein of donor enthusiasm. Whether this will translate to votes remains to be seen, but for now, it's raining dollars in the Harris campaign headquarters.

As the race heats up, one can't help but think Biden may be checking his wallet and sighing in a corner office somewhere. After all, not everyone can raise $36 million in 24 hours. But then not everyone is Kamala Harris.
