Some San Francisco Democrats aren't sold on Vice President Harris taking over the top of the ticket, citing concerns about her time as senator and California DA.

'And she says, ‘You know what, maybe that’s something that I can do, too.’' Other voters told the San Francisco Standard that the choice between Harris and Donald Trump was clear.

The campaign touted what they called a 'record-shattering haul' and noted Sunday in a press release that two-thirds of the contributions came from first-time donors, which they argued was 'further proof of the tremendous grassroots support for the Vice President.
