President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee narrowly top presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his party in April fundraising by TrevorNews michaelvmartina
- President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee said on Monday they jointly raised $61.7 million in April, just beating the month’s haul for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his party.
The big fundraising figures came despite the coronavirus pandemic, which has hammered the U.S. economy and disrupted fundraising for politicians. Both presidential candidates and their allies are starting to ramp up paid advertising campaigns in battleground states ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.
“The trust you all have put in me as your presumptive nominee is humbling,” Biden said in a statement emailed to supporters. Biden became the Democrats’ de facto nominee in early April after his last remaining rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, dropped out of the race, making it the first month in which Biden was not competing in fundraising with a challenger from the same party.
Fundraising events have largely moved online as the virus has upended American life, forcing millions of people to stay in their homes and leading presidential campaigns to cancel public events and fundraising dinners.
