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.

Will the men's triathlon face the amputation of one leg due to pollution of the River Seine at the Paris Olympics?

The race was due to take place last night, before the filth from water quality tests forced a postponement to 8.45pm tonight.

Triathlon New Zealand boss Pete de Wet told Mike Hosking hope springs eternal.

He said that on some level this was expected but considering the amount they invested into improving the water quality in the Seine, they were hopeful it would sort itself out.

“We’re just trying to focus on what we can control.”
