An influx of Wall Street and Silicon Valley donor support for Kamala Harris is translating into a distinct campaign advantage to the tune of nearly $5 million a day, allowing her to go on offense against Republican Donald Trump.

As the presidential campaign enters the most expensive stretch, Harris and the Democratic National Committee are outspending Trump and the Republican Party each day by a margin of three-to-one, according to the latest federal filings. The Harris campaign spent an average of $7.5 million a day in August, compared to a $2.6 million daily average for Trump.
