In an email sent to supporters on Thursday, Harris' campaign announced that they raised a staggering $361 million in August, which they described as the "best grassroots fundraising month in presidential history."

The impressive haul is nearly that of Trump's campaign, which pulled in $130 million, according to The New York Times.

Harris also has far more cash on hand, as she reported having $404 million, compared to Trump's $295 million

August was Harris' first full month as the Democratic presidential candidate after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, and passed the torch to his vice president.

The month saw her score a handful of big endorsements in recent weeks, headlined the party's national convention which brought in over $80 million, gave her first major interview alongside her running mate Tim Walz, and gained massive boosts in national polling.

Voters will finally get the chance to see Trump and Harris side-by-side as the two are scheduled to face-off for their first presidential debate on September 10.
