Biden campaign taunts Trump on low fundraising numbers: ‘He’d fire himself’

Biden’s campaign won on Wednesday, citing massive fundraising and financial advantages compared to Trump’s campaign.

Trump’s 2024 campaign raised $10.9 million last month, and his community fundraising committee raised nearly $11 million, according to election filings released Wednesday. As of March, his entire business had about $42 million in cash on hand.

This number is far below the Biden campaign’s efforts, which raised about $53 million in February, and had only $155 million in cash in March.

“If Donald Trump releases numbers like this, apprentice, he will fire himself,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement. “But this is why he doesn’t understand. His extreme and harmful policies – banning abortion, cutting Social Security, promoting political violence – are repelling donors and the voters who will decide this election.” has done *absolutely* nothing to gain support from.”

“Even if he had the money, that’s not a message that voters would support,” Tyler added.

“I’m no mathematician but I think we have a lot more cash,” Ammar Moussa, another Biden campaign spokesperson, wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. .

Trump, who became the Republican nominee earlier this month, could raise more money by merging his operations with the Republican National Committee. The RNC reported Wednesday that it had about $11 million in cash on hand at the end of February, lower than the Democratic National Committee’s $26 million in cash on hand.

He also faces a deadline to pay a $454 million judgment after a New York state judge found he was guilty of fraud by conspiring to inflate assets for tax and insurance benefits. ing.

With an additional $112,000 in interest accumulating for every day Trump doesn’t pay, the former president owed the state about $457 million as of Wednesday.
