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.
I believe it.
I believe it!
Why shouldn’t I believe it?
This ain't 1992. Rallies don't matter. Ballots do.
Lots of money to pay for lots of fraud - the only way Biden can win.
Yup....and a few of those dollars are from US citizens.
The middle class *and* the working class.
You gotta pay those vote counters and lawyers.
When did Merchan's courtroom move to MAL?
See #67.
65 million is a lot of money. It was so much that they couldn’t just report Biden + DNC the way They Reported Trump + RNC. They had to add in “affiliates” whatever the heck that means. Not that it’s even legal since Bidens campaign cant coordinate with thr affiliates (but these are minor details of course). It’s similar to when the inflation number is double their expectations and the media reports it’s in line with expectations. They tell us how unpopular Trump is and that he has no chance yet they need double the money and the DOJ to indict him just to compete.
(2018) Beto O’Rourke raised $80 million total for Ted Cruz challenge, left little in bank https://www.texastribune.org/2018/12/07/Beto-ORourke-80-million-raised/
Lots of money didn’t do Beto any good...
Apparently money can’t buy poll numbers.
Hillary’s fundraising dwarfed Trump’s.
Jeb’s fundraising dwarfed Trump’s.
DeSantis’s fundraising dwarfed Trump’s.
But who ended up with all the votes — Trump.
While Joe Biden was stumbling around with his hands in his dirty diaper Trump had a rally in New Jersey that topped 100,000 people. Biden couldn’t fill a high school gym if he paid people $100 to attend.
It’s easy when you launder money
China has deep pockets.
Ukraine money-laundering

No bias here. /s
My wife and I have donated, but we have been treated to at least five spam texts a day that we have to look at, and yesterday, my wife literally got 19 Republican texts and I hadn’t bothered to count mine, as I again typed STOP and blocked the number after it replied, “You will no longer receive texts from this list.” Of course, they immediately put our names on another list and we get a spam text later that day or sometime over the next several days. It is an incredibly intrusive money raising practice.
I can’t get us off of this phone number sharing system.
We get a ton of junk emails that number at least ten a day. Thankfully, they can be caught by spam filters pretty well, though, but again, no Republican entity ever seems to not just add us to a different list and spam us again.
This stuff would be ILLEGAL HARASSMENT if done by a company or normal citizen, but because it is a protected political class, it will forever continue.
We have given thousands of dollars, sometimes in the same year, to help Trump and Republicans. We get harassed and frustrated at how we are treated.
We have stopped giving anything online and will only mail a check, but now, only to campaigns that don’t do this crud to us, which now means we aren’t donating even to Trump.
If there is a way to turn off donations, it is to harasses and berate caring donors.
Screw these people!
