The coordinated campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris raised $361 million in August, nearly three times as much as the $130 million collected by the coordinated effort of her Republican rival, Donald Trump, giving her a clear financial edge with two months to go before Election Day, her campaign announced Friday.

Harris’s larger campaign, which boasts hundreds more staff, dozens more offices and a bigger advertising budget than Trump, also ended the month with more cash on hand. She has $404 million in cash to spend, her campaign said, compared with $295 million in cash at the end of August that the Trump campaign announced on Wednesday. The numbers cannot be verified until financial disclosures are filed later this month.
