Momentum is on Kamala Harris' side as the Democrats eat away at Donald Trump's lead in the polls. 

Her campaign says they've raised more than NZ$330 million in the first week since Joe Biden's exit. 

A new poll by the Wall Street Journal also found Harris has erased Trump's six-point lead to just two points. 

US Correspondent Mitch McCann told Mike Hosking the Democrats say that 60% of the funds were raised from first time donors. 

He said there’s been different groups gathering on Zoom to fundraise, Black Women for Kamala, Black Men, South Asian-Americans, and last night saw 60,000 ‘White Dudes for Harris’ raise $4 million to prove that Donald Trump doesn’t own the votes of white men.
