Joe Biden scoffed at his recent fundraising troubles in a soon-to-be-aired interview with 60 Minutes, claiming his campaign was on course to do “extremely well” — an opinion not shared by his own aides. The former vice president, who this week reversed his position on accepting help from super PACs, made the remarks when asked by CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell if he still considered himself the Democrat frontrunner. O’Donnell, particularly, noted that Biden had not only lost his polling advantage but had also fallen behind competitors like Sens. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in fundraising.
“I just flat beat them,” Biden responded with a laugh before adding that his campaign was “on a course to do extremely well.” He said, “I’m not worried about being able to fund this campaign. I really am not, truly.”
Despite the former vice president’s bravado, his campaign has expressed increasing concern over its fundraising capabilities in the past few weeks.
“I hate to say it, but our opponents are way ahead of us when it comes to money in the bank,” Elana Firsht, a campaign aide, admitted in a recent fundraising email. “If we don’t pick up the pace here, we might have to make budget cuts that could seriously hurt our momentum in this primary.”
Although Biden started the race with a strong funding advantage, thanks to support from high-dollar donors, he ended the most recent fundraising period well behind his competitors. In between July and the end of September, Biden only raised $15.2 million. The sum was dwarfed by that raised by Sanders ($25.3 million), Warren ($24.6 million), and Mayor Pete Buttigieg ($19.1 million).

In more ways than one.
Has his good friend Barack Obama endorsed him yet?
I am actually sad to see Joe go. If Trump does not win, Gropey Joe would have been the least worst alternative. The rest of the hard core commies would have turned us into Venezuela. Joe would have screwed it up, but not as much.
It doesn’t really matter which Democrat Soros-puppet we get.
Meanwhile, PDJT and the RNC raised more than all of them combined in the third quarter!
So Joe is less energetic than others. That’s the only reason I prefer him.
the msm is silent on joe’s blatant hypocrisy-
He’s basically saying “We’re gonna do away with those kinds of donations but ONLY AFTER this election because beating trump is all that matters”
Walk the walk joe- if you can’t then don’t preach to us-
It takes an incredible amount of money to run for president.
I don’t see the costs going down for everyone.
Last time, Trump spent a lot less than Hillary and still got better results. Much depends on the appeal of the candidate.
This story is “unfounded”. IE. Biden has not admitted it.
Obama fawns all over the dead, Black Racist, Elijah Cummings (Who did absolutely nothing for African-Americans he trapped in the Ghetto of Baltimore, Maryland) and “Black Face”, Canadian Prime Minister, Trudeau....but not a supporting word or endorsement of his grand old buddy & lap dog, Criminal/Crook, Democrat, Joe Biden. Why? Biden is political poison for Obama!!! Actually...Both Biden & Obama are nothing but tainted human garbage!!!
No it’s not. Biden can win. For that matter, Harvey Weinstein or Howdy Doody (the puppet) could win if they had a “D” after their names and spouted PC hatred, AOC and the Muslims-support, and anti-america, anti-Trump crap :)
gee, can’t he just borrow some money from Hunter?
or China or Romania or
I LOVE that EVIL DEMOCRATS are WASTING their MONEY on all these LOSERS! LOL!
LOTS of GAYS have tons of money to waste on their fellow Gay!
Wait till normal people see his kiss his HUSBAND!!!! UGH!
I think Andrew Yang would be the least awful choice from the Democrat 2020 clown car. He is the only one who doesn’t openly despise half the country.
When the Mayor of a small city in flyover land is out-fundraising you, you’re doing it wrong.
