Major donors concerned about Mr Biden's age have pledged to resume their funding.

Democrats have poured more than $100m (£77m) in donations into Vice-President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday, her campaign says.

The tally was boosted by what her team calls a record 24-hour period of fundraising - $81m raised.

During that timeframe, more than 888,000 people donated sums of up to $200 each, according to progressive donation platform ActBlue.

Donors who had pulled back their funding over concerns about Mr Biden’s age have said they now intend to resume their support for the party.

The surge in donations in the 24-hour period after Mr Biden quit the race was the single biggest for online contributions to Democrats since 2020, according to the New York Times.

    To add to others, they also have to run field offices in so many places, especially battlegrounds. It’s not just ads, you need locals.

    Imagine opening up 50+ offices in each major European nation, staffed with both volunteers and paid folk.
