The Biden campaign says it raised more than $53 million in February. On March 17, Biden For President announced President
Joe Biden now has more access to more than $155 million in cash. The campaign used its good news as an opportunity to attack former President
Donald Trump and the
Republican National Committee (RNC).
President Trump is now the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee. The party committee is under new leadership that’s pledged loyalty to President Trump. “Donald Trump and the RNC’s numbers and operation tell a different story—one of division, ineptitude, and a fundamental inability to build a coalition that can win 270 electoral votes,” Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden-Harris 2024 campaign manager, said in a release. The Biden For President release did not clarify where exactly the money wound up. Previously, the Biden campaign has included
Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraising as part of its overall haul. The Biden campaign is financed by a collection of committees overseen by the Federal
election Commission. A number of those entities representing President Biden’s campaign and those of President Trump will publish reports on their incomes, expenditures, and cash holdings on March 20. Most likely, reports will be publicly available late that evening. The DNC, for its part, said it raised about $17.4 million and had about $24.1 million on hand during the same period. A number of President Biden’s key fundraising accounts—most notably his allied hybrid political action committee FF PAC and joint fundraising committee Biden Victory Fund—will not reveal their financial activities until the middle of April. Those two accounts cumulatively raised more than $184.9 million in 2023, according to the FEC. “Since launch, 97% of all our donations were under $200, and 1.3 million donors have made nearly 3.4 million contributions,” the release said. “Additionally, we now have more than 178,000 sustaining donors who have committed to donating every month—more than double the amount at this point in the 2020 cycle.” As for President Trump’s campaign and finances, the Biden campaign highlighted a number of news articles that reported on dysfunction in both the Republican Party and the
Trump campaign. A portion of President Trump’s financial network and the RNC are due to report their finances on March 20.
