Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.

* Recent fundraising for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has been so strong that it and the Democratic National Committee are transferring nearly $25 million to the party’s down-ballot efforts, hoping to boost Democratic candidates in state and federal races.

* The latest CNN polls conducted by SSRS found Harris leading Donald Trump in Wisconsin by six points, in Michigan by five points, in Georgia by one point, and in Nevada by one point. The same set of data found the two major-party nominees tied in Pennsylvania, while the former president was ahead in Arizona by five points.

* As Trump struggles with his message on abortion rights, the Harris campaign is kicking off an abortion rights-focused bus tour not far from Mar-a-Lago.

* Politico reported this week that Republican officials are worried about their election-season financial deficit: “The leader of House Republicans’ biggest super PAC told donors last month he needed $35 million more to compete with Democrats in the fall. Senate GOP campaign chair Steve Daines used his primetime speaking slot at the Republican convention to lament that massive spending from Democrats was keeping him awake at night. And his House GOP counterpart warned that their party’s challengers trailed Democratic incumbents by a collective $37 million at the end of June.”

* And in a familiar dynamic, Dave Williams is claiming to still be the chair of the Colorado Republican Party following a weekend vote held by his supporters. A week earlier, local party officials voted overwhelmingly to oust Williams from his position. A court fight now appears inevitable.
