*Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign has been breaking records, with a recent virtual event titled “White Women: Answer the Call” attracting 164,000 participants and raising over $2 million in under an hour.
The Zoom call, featuring notable speakers such as pop star Pink and actress Connie Britton, saw a surge in attendance that overwhelmed the platform, leading to a crash, Atlanta Daily World reports.
“We weren’t kidding when we said we broke Zoom,” said attendee Erin Gallagher when the virtual event resumed. Shannon Watts, the organizer of the fundraiser, posted on social media, “Kamala just broke Zoom again.”
We reported earlier that White women across the globe mobilized to support Harris in the virtual meeting on July 25. The event followed the successful “Win With Black Women” Zoom call, which saw 44,000 participants raise over $1 million for Harris’s campaign. White women sought to replicate the event’s success and gather more support for Harris, and Thursday’s virtual call achieved that goal.
Harris seems poised to secure the Democratic nomination after President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race Sunday and threw his support behind her.
Harris is set to become the first woman of Jamaican and South Asian descent to become a major party nominee.
“I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination,” she said in a statement after Biden’s endorsement, NBC News reports.
“I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda,” Haris added.
We reported earlier that Harris debuted her own TikTok account on Thursday to connect with and woo young voters. Her account (@kamalaharris) amassed over 1.6 million within the initial 16 hours.
The first video posted to her account reportedly garnered 2.5 million views in five hours. Watch it below.
