Biden raised more than $72M in second quarter, doubling Trump’s haul

President Biden’s reelection campaign raised more than $72 million in the second quarter of fundraising, the campaign announced Friday.

The team also reported that the campaign has $77 million in cash on hand, which is “the highest total amassed by a Democrat at any comparable point in history.”

*** Biden more than doubled former President Trump’s second quarter fundraising.

“The Biden-Harris team dramatically outraised the announced totals from every GOP candidate running for president, including Donald Trump by more than 2:1 and Ron DeSantis by more than 3:1,” the Biden campaign said in a statement.
Trump, the Republican front-runner, hauled in more than $35 million in the second quarter. That’s roughly double what he brought in the first quarter of the year; the former president raised more than $18 million in the first three months of 2023.
The former president saw a boost in contributions after he was hit with criminal charges. His campaign said he raised $4 million in just 24 hours after he was indicted by a New York grand jury at the end of March. *** The Biden-Harris campaign said that more than 394,000 donors made more than 670,000 contributions across all entities, which also includes the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees. The average grassroots donation was $39, and 97 percent of all donations were less than $200.

Yeah well the Mexican cartels must be good for 50,000,000 at least. I mean the drugs and trafficking are making them billions a year.

Wait, “The Biden-Harris campaign said that more than 394,000 donors made more than 670,000 contributions across all entities, which also includes the Democratic National Committee and joint fundraising committees.” So they are counting all sources, not just the campaign itself?

Pay or be a target.

And the other day they were saying that he wasn’t getting any money.

First question is, who is it coming from?

" So they are counting all sources, not just the campaign itself ?"

Certainly....anything to bolster the image of FJB's strength. Fools.

“Trump has nearly unlimitless money to draw from out of his own pocket if necessary. “

That only matters if he is willing to spend his own money.

“Democrats are the fat cat, elitist party now.”

What do you mean “now”? I’ve seen them as that for decades. Which is about how long they’ve had fat cat donors like Soros.

Likely, lots of ‘foreign’ donors. Like HRC had.

Thousands of small donations or just a few very large donations from those who benefit from government waste and corruption?
