Since Vice President Kamala Harris formally launched her presidential run, Alabamians have donated more than $3.3 million to her campaign.

That's more than former President Donald Trump received from donors in the state during the same time frame, campaign finance records show.

Since the race began with Trump leading the Republican ticket and facing Democrat President Joe Biden, the Republican has far outraised the Democrats in Alabama . But campaign finance records show a surge of support after Harris took over the Democratic ticket .

To identify the top Alabama donors, AL.com reviewed the most recent federal campaign finance filings for both campaigns, as well as the Republican and Democratic national committees and affiliated groups. The data covers all available campaign finance records between July 21 and Oct. 31.
