The analysis of the July data shows that Harris got a big financial boost from some areas of the state that had not been generous to Biden. Among the top ZIP codes contributing to Harris were 07901 in Summit ($74,000) and 07302 in Jersey City ($65,000). Atop the list was 08540 in Princeton ($125,000), which had been the top contributor to Biden through June 30.

New Jersey donors who were retired or not working were the biggest contributors to Harris, giving more than $1 million in late July. Attorneys ($159,000) and doctors ($73,000) followed. Of those employed, $287,000 came from those reporting they were self-employed, followed by $33,000 from those working at Rutgers University and $21,000 from Google employees.
