Biden beats Trump in fundraising on day of first presidential debate

President Joe Biden raised more money than former President Donald Trump around the debate, but both presidents raked in millions on Thursday.

The two candidates faced off for the first time in the 2024 election cycle on Thursday night, where Biden's performance in the televised debate has shaken many Democratic insiders. But campaign officials said the hour after the debate was the best fundraising hour since Biden launched his reelection bid in April 2023, according to The Hill.

The president's campaign announced it brought in a total of $14 million on debate day and the morning after, while Trump's campaign brought in $8 million on the day of the debate. But Trump outraised Biden last month, after he brought in a total of $141 million in May alone. Biden brought in $85 million in May, but has $212 million in cash on hand.

Looks like Brandon pulled in a good haul right after the debate, but I'm reading his big donors are considering walking away and cutting their losses.

Brandon should steal all the money and put it in offshore accounts.

He knows he will not be prosecuted.

Sometimes folks will throw money into the plate of a poor old man as they walk by. It’s a pity thing. Perhaps that’s what’s happening here.

First of all, if the American public is that stupid and evil as to carry Biden on its shoulders then they deserve the decline they’ll see in this country.

But major donors shy away from anyone who will not feel like a winner to them. They have to believe the money is not being thrown away.

Plus, how do they come back to shake the winner down for favors afterward if the person lost?

Although Biden did kill Medicare.

Perhaps the donations were by Republican people to keep Brandon in the race?

The big donors already flushed $100 million down the Nikki Haley toilet.

Dead Man’s Money as all the advertising in the world won’t undo all the damage Biden did to his campaign.
CNN must register as an campaign supporter(for Trump) as he couldn’t afford to buy this amount of publicity for his movement.
Thank you, CNN!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

So?

How much is Truth Social worth now?

Versus a couple of houses in Delaware and a corvette?

Oh, I forgot about the Red China retainer.

Haven’t heard from “the usual gang of idiots”(tip to Mad Magazine, RIP)
Must be from all that excitement from the Biden fundraiser they attended.
Or maybe too busy having to explain to their wives, husbands lovers, poolboys, etc why their bank accounts are so empty and why they cannot take their luxury yachts to Cabo this year!🤣😂🤣

Any money raised by Biden’s campaign going forward, is good-bye money and mostly sympathy money. It’s all part of the going away funds. It’s all preemptive loser’s participation trophy money. It’s the gold watch in money form. The going-away party will have all the left-wing media crying, and some jumping from tall buildings and high bridges, and some will leave the country. Like Hillary after her loss in 2016, some will wander parks crying their hearts off and making up stories about Trump the demon.

Excellent point.

Ignorance can be cured but stupid is forever. They shouldn’t have been so naive as to throw that money away.

Good money after bad. His donors should have just shredded the Ben Franklins.
