Biden Campaign Announces Fundraising Numbers That Dwarf Trump’s
American Action Network ^ | 05/13/24 | MARY LOU MASTERS

Posted on 05/14/2024 2:58:41 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign and affiliated groups announced a $90 million fundraising haul for March on Saturday.

The total — which includes funds from the campaign, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and affiliated joint fundraising committees — out-paces former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee’s (RNC’s) $65.6 million raised in the same month. Biden’s fundraising apparatus now has more than double the amount of cash on hand as Trump’s, at $192 million compared to $93.1 million, according to a press release.

“ The money we are raising is historic, and it’s going to the critical work of building a winning operation, focused solely on the voters who will decide this election – offices across the country, staff in our battleground states, and a paid media program meeting voters where they are,” Julie Chavez Rodriguez, campaign manager for Biden, said in a statement. “It’s a stark contrast to Trump’s cash-strapped operation that is funneling the limited and billionaire-reliant funds it has to pay off his various legal fees.”

Biden and the affiliated group’s totals marks the largest haul any Democratic presidential candidate has raised at this point in the election cycle, according to the press release.

“While Donald Trump has been busy awarding himself golf trophies at Mar-a-Lago and palling around with billionaires, Joe Biden has been criss-crossing the nation connecting with voters and outlining his vision to grow our economy from the bottom up and the middle out,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison said in a statement. “That’s why Democrats are earning record-breaking support from grassroots donors, like nurses and teachers, who are fired up to reelect President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats up and down the ballot.”

Biden’s announcement precedes a Trump fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday, which the campaign expects could top $43 million, according to Politico.

The Democrats’ haul includes Biden’s campaign topping $25 million at a New York City fundraiser with former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, along with various other celebrities, according to the outlet.

Biden and the DNC also ended February with more than double the amount of cash on hand than the Republicans’, announcing $97.5 million compared to Trump and the RNC’s $44.8 million, according to Politico.

Neither the Trump campaign nor the RNC immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

Democrats need money to bribe officials to stand down if they see any election issues, to outright cheat like counting absentee ballots days after Election Day, to print counterfeit ballots, to pay ballot harvesters, to give “incentives” to voters to vote for Biden, to bus the homeless to register to vote — and on and on. It’s frustrating.

Mmmmmmm......Special Counsel Robert K. Hur must be “surprised” that Biden-—who Hur said a jury would perceive as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” and thus be unlikely to convict -——is a world-class champion fund-raiser, making all those money-making campaign stops, appealing to voters w/ lots of money who are anxious to reelect “an elderly man w/ a poor memory.”


Hur was appointed January 2023 by AG Garland to conduct the investigation of Biden into possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents at the U of Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and in the garage of the Wilmington, Del private residence of Joe Biden, as well as several other places........all easily accessible to influence-peddler Hunter Biden

He must have plenty of cash.
They’re running a 15 second, pro abortion ad on WMAL, about every two minutes.
Some chick expressing a made-up scenario, where she “desperately wanted” her baby, but it had a fatal condition.
Stupid ad, false story, ends with some guy (not Joe) saying I’m Joe and I approve this message.

Biden was in Seattle this past weekend for two campaign events - both private. One was at a home in Medina - Bill Gate’s neighborhood.

Are US taxpayers being scammed by foreign aid “good cop, bad cop” money grabbers?

George Soros is the spendthrift billionaire with an endless supply of money to screw up American politics. Now, new revelations suggest Soros appears to be doing the “good cop, bad cop” routine (to get his hands on US foreign aid tax dollars?).

Soros has expressed outright hostility to Israel and Zionism time and time again. It’s no secret. So to discover Soros, is, in fact, one of the largest donors to one of the Israeli lobbies-—— the J Street lobby-—— is a revelation.

J Street has suggested, time and time again, that Soros was not an Israel supporter. But Eli Lake was quoted in the Atlantic WRT Soros and his family giving J Street $750,000 to J Street over a one year period.

The scandal grows from a decision by Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder and president of J Street, to cover-up, over a long period of time, something he knew to be true: That George Soros, the billionaire moneyman and self-avowed dissident of Israel, provided the Israeli J Street Lobby with almost $750,000 in funding.

James Besser, at The New York Jewish Week, frames the impact of this cover-up in stark and simple terms: “There’s no way this isn’t going to make the US politicians supported by J Street and those who may be considering accepting its endorsement incredibly nervous. Instead of providing protection for the politicians they supported, J Street essentially hung them out to dry by lying about their connection to the controversial moneyman Soros.”

An Atlantic reporter, Chris Good, was one of the journalists lied to by J Street; he ripped the organization a new one once he learned he was the target of J Street’s disinformation campaign.


News of the Soros J Street donation, first brought to light by Eli Lake, an in-demand ace reporter, was accompanied by disclosures about a larger, and stranger, donation, by a resident of Hong Kong. J Street supporters on Capitol Hill are worried that the organization is using foreign money to provide money to American political candidates, and encouraging foreigners to support Israeli funding in US legislation.

At least since FDR and likely before, Democrats have made as many people as possible dependent on Federal payrolls. They federalize every profession they can. And when your livelihood depends on Democrats, who are you going to contribute to and vote for? Those eeeevil Republicans might even eliminate your department to try to balance the budget!

“Biden Campaign Announces Fundraising Numbers That Dwarf Trump’s”

Thanks to Ukraine, Russia, China, Iran, N Korea and all the other countries that emptied out their prisons and sent those people across our Southern Border.

Pure bullshit. You've locked Trump into a musty NYC courtroom on fabricated political charges. He hasn't seen Mar-a-Lago for months!

I don’t think so. Trump had a $56 million single night; he has an event planned that will net $25 million; and that’s only two events. I betcha that an honest report would show they are about even, which is terrible news for Rutabaga. Cankles lost outspending Trump 10:1.

I want to know how much was laundered through foreign sources, and how much of it is US tax payer money.

You only have to look at the cavalcade of losers we have had as “leaders”
Hastert=pedophile
Boehner= clueless drunk
McConnell + CCP controlled sellout
Ryan=backstabbing weasel
McCarthy= used car salesman
Romney = Well coiffed republipussy

to understand why wallets are closed and there is a motivation gap.
