Vice President Kamala Harris draws unfavorable marks from more than half of Americans, but that hasn’t stopped her from becoming a prolific fundraiser for President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
The reelection team is drawing on the former California senator and attorney general’s ties to Hollywood and Silicon Valley to court big-ticket contributers from those spheres as well as from Wall Street.
Hosts are often forced to turn away interested supporters, according to donors who requested anonymity to speak about the events. At least one donor specifically requested that Harris speak at the reception they hosted. Republicans have sought to exploit Harris’s approval ratings, with attacks questioning her ability to assume the presidency if Biden, the oldest US president at 80, cannot continue.“Any person on that stage is better than Kamala Harris,” former South Carolina Governor and presidential aspirant Nikki Haley said about her Republican rivals in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Thursday, the day after the party’s first primary debate.
Actress Rosario Dawson introduced the vice president at the Democratic National Committee’s annual LGBTQ leadership council gala in June, which raised $1.3 million — the largest haul since the event started more than two decades ago, according to a source familiar with the matter. Alex Heckler, DNC deputy national finance chair and a lawyer, recalled Harris taking photos with each of the roughly 60 attendees at his Miami Beach home in March. “She stayed there until she got to say hello to every single person,” Heckler said. “She’s a big draw.”
