With the largest donation of $177.8 million going to Fairshake, these funds have already raised more than $202 million.

During the pre-election campaigns, Fairshake has been very active, spending almost $70 million on attack advertisements directed at Democratic congressional candidates. While tokens connected to Harris printed green indexes and Trump-related cryptocurrencies saw sharp declines, the political memes token fared fairly well. The two largest cryptocurrencies, Ether and Bitcoin, saw a slight decrease over the previous day.

Harris invested extensively in the middle class. Recounting her own story as a middle-class kid, she promised small business deductions and tax breaks for families. She painted Trump, on the other hand, as the billionaire’s buddy, emphasizing his support for the wealthy and the ultra-rich. She stated that it was time for a new generation of leadership and argued that Trump’s policies were a thing of the past. The former President in a reply, mentioned that 80–90% of Americans thought the economy was better under him.
