Washington, Oct 9: Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's campaign announced that it has raised more than $12 million following the debate between the party's candidate Kamala Harris and US Vice President Mike Pence.

The figure was confirmed by a campaign official to The Hill news website on Thursday, a day after the first Vice Presidential debate which took place in Salt Lake City, Utah. US Presidential Debate 2020: Donald Trump Refusing to Do Virtual Debate With Joe Biden.
