Joe Biden, who has been serving as the 46th President of the United States since January 20, 2021, announced that he is giving up his candidacy in this year’s elections. He had proposed Kamala Harris as his replacement.
Harris, who is the closest candidate to the Democratic presidential nomination in the US presidential election to be held on November 5, has raised record donations. Harris’ team announced that $81 million has been donated to Harris in the last 24 hours since Biden nominated her as his replacement for the presidency.
HIGHEST DONATION COLLECTED IN 24 HOURS
According to news in the US media, the figure was recorded as the highest donation amount reached in 24 hours. The amount of donations collected and the number of donors during the US presidential election process are closely monitored in order to provide insight into the election results.
Republican rival Donald Trump raised more than $50 million in donations in the 24 hours following the announcement of the verdict in the New York hush money case.

Harris, who was recommended by Biden for the nomination, received full support by reaching the necessary support for the candidacy at the party convention.
