Biden campaign raises record $26 million in one day after announcing VP pick
The Hill ^ | 8/12/2020 | REBECCA KLAR

Joe Biden's campaign said Wednesday that it raised $26 million in the 24 hours after Biden announced Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate.

"I have no doubt that I picked the right person to join me as the next vice president of the United States of America, and that's Sen. Kamala Harris," Biden said in Wilmington, Del., as he appeared with Harris for the first time publicly since the announcement.

"And it seems Americans all across this nation, at least at the outset here, agree with me," the presumptive Democratic nominee continued.

"Yesterday we had our best grassroots fundraising day of the campaign, more than double our previous record, and in doing so we set a single-day record for online political fundraising. I think I know why," he added.

Biden campaign spokesman TJ Ducklo tweeted that the fundraising haul included $150,000 from first-time contributors.

There was a Freeper that postulated they have no expectations of winning this election. Run their clowns now and collect campaign money and just screw with the country. The next election they run their serious candidates.

I think they have no choice but to try and hope for the best, but they don’t really have any expectations of winning.

They have said and done too many other things that indicate that they know they are likely to lose, the biggest of which is the vote fraud agenda. They are trying with everything in them to get mail in voting going. They know it’s their only chance of winning.

“Biden campaign spokesman TJ Ducklo tweeted that the fundraising haul included $150,000 from first-time contributors.”

So $25,850,000 was from people who had already given? And this is a “win” exactly why? They stacked the deck with programmed donations.

Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Trump should point that out. She’s hardly for the little guy.

Fakery. You have to ask yourself, why only $150,000 from
new donations? That’s pitiful.

25 million from people who have donated already???
Probably all 25 of them.

Doesn’t matter how popular they are. What the Democrats have going for them is a vote counting corruption system perfected in key republican dominated or swing districts in 2018 that will be nation wide this election.....

And made even easier by the vote-by-mail scam.

Corporate money given to BLM Democratic front groups.

Political money laundering.
