Kamala Harris' business allies are initiating a fundraising blitz for Joe Biden's campaign for president in the wake of her joining the ticket.

Alicia Goldstein, a senior managing director at real estate investment firm HFZ Capital Group, and Deborah Harmon, the chief executive officer of Artemis Real Estate Partners, are helping organize a virtual event on Friday featuring Harris, the people said. Tickets start at $1,000 and go up to $200,000, with the virtual gathering expected to reel in millions, the people added.

"I don't spend every day thinking about whether the business leaders I work with are Democrats or Republicans, but I do think about how we widen the circle of opportunity for those typically underrepresented in the real estate industry, specifically women and people of color," Harmon said in statement on Sunday.

Brad Karp, the chairman of lawfirm Paul, Weiss, is likely to host a few events over the course of the next month, another person added. Karp has represented Citigroup, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo, according to the firm's website.Marc Lasry, the longtime CEO of investment firm Avenue Capital, could host a Biden-Harris event in October, another person noted.

Biden's selection of Harris has already had an impact on fundraising up and down the ballot. Over its latter two days, the Democratic National Convention raised at least $40 million for Democrats running for office,Biden's campaign later announced that they, along with their joint fundraising committees, raised $70 million over the course of the convention week. That comes after raising $48 million immediately following the Harris announcement.

These are the same people who abandoned her primary campaign last year.

She always was the billionaires favorite--even Trump and Mnuchin donated to Harris.
