A portion of donations made to the Harris Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee authorized by the Harris campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties, will be directed towards a recount effort, according to its fundraising page.
The move comes after former president Donald Trump officially swept all seven battleground states and earned 312 electoral votes in the 2024 presidential race, winning control of the White House.
In some states Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris by a narrow margin, including less than one percentage point in Wisconsin and less than two points in Michigan.
The fundraising page says that the “first $41,300/$15,000 from a person/multicandidate committee (“PAC”) will be allocated to the DNC. The next $3,300/$5,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to Harris for President’s Recount Account.”
It doesn’t include additional details on when the recount effort will take place and who will lead the effort.
Harris officially conceded the race to Trump in a speech she gave at Howard University the day after Election Day, saying that the nation must accept the election results.
