In July, Kamala Harris significantly boosted Democratic fundraising efforts after becoming the party's presidential nominee, according to recent federal filings. This surge in donations helped to narrow the fundraising gap that had previously favored Republican candidate Donald Trump.

The filings also revealed that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is experiencing a decline in campaign resources. Additionally, Kennedy Jr. has been refunding contributions from his running mate, who hinted at the possibility of the campaign exiting the race and potentially endorsing Trump during a recent podcast episode.
