Kamala Harris raises $12 million in second quarter, far below some of her rivals
LA TimesSen. Kamala Harris of California raised nearly $12 million in the last three months, according to her campaign, a number that leaves her far behind some of her competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination. Days earlier, at the Democratic National Committee’s first televised debate, Harris had confronted former Vice President Joe Biden about his past positions on public school busing and nostalgic comments on working with segregationists. Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., raised $24.8 million in the second fundraising quarter, his campaign said this week. Harris’ campaign said it raised nearly half a million from sales of T-shirts showing the image of the candidate as a child and the words “That little girl was me,” referring to her debate comments to Biden about her own experience with busing as she grew up in Berkeley.
