More than 20,000 donors of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi descent poured money into Harris’ campaign in the 10 days after President Biden withdrew from the race.
Almost $2.4 million in donations poured in from South Asian donors to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign within 10 days of President Biden's endorsement. When Harris stepped up as likely Democratic nominee on July 21, more than 23,000 South Asian doctors, attorneys, C-suite executives and IT professionals from California to New York pulled out their checkbooks in support of the first major presidential candidate with Indian heritage.
Some contributions to these committees were given through the left's fundraising platform, ActBlue. The Times identified contributors of South Asian descent, including India, Bangladesh and Pakistan by combining fundraising disclosures with a database of South Asian names. The list, compiled by a University of Chicago epidemiologist, Diane Lauderdale, and doctoral student Cal Chengqi Fang, was derived from administrative data, which include last names and associated countries of birth.
