To all the grassroots donors who pitched in a few bucks at a time\u2014thank you. This campaign is powered by you. And with your help, we\u2019re going to finish the job,\u201d Mr. Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1679932539333640192\">said<\/a> in a July 15 post on Twitter. The amount was raised between April 25, when Biden announced his 2024 candidacy and the end of June. It includes donations to Biden\u2019s campaign as well as funds raised via national and state parties.<\/p>\n<p>Though these are strong numbers, the fundraising is lower compared to previous American presidents at this time in the election cycle during their reelection. In 2019, then-President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC) raised $105 million in the second quarter, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, former president Barack Obama raised $85.6 million, not accounting for inflation, in the second quarter of 2011 when he launched his second presidential bid.<\/p>\n<p>Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/07\/14\/1187702969\/biden-campaign-fundraising-dnc-fec-donors\">argue<\/a> that Mr. Biden\u2019s campaign donations are only lower than that of Mr. Obama\u2019s 2011 fundraising due to the fact that Mr. Obama began his race in early April at the time while Mr. Biden only kicked off his current campaign in late April.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden campaign had $77 million on hand at the end of the Q2 reporting period, which was the highest total ever by a Democrat at that point.<\/p>\n<h2>Biden Ahead in Fundraising<\/h2>\n<p>As far as the 2024 presidential race is concerned, Biden has raised more money in donations in the second quarter compared to his Democrat rival Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his chief GOP rival Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>On July 5, the Trump campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/trump-raises-35-million-in-second-quarter-reinforcing-frontrunner-status_5379146.html\">announced<\/a> that the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-raises-56m-for-republican-party\/\" title=\"President Trump raises M for Republican Party\">president raised<\/a> over $35 million in Q2, which is less than half of what Mr. Biden raised. However, Mr. Trump\u2019s second-quarter fundraising received almost twice the money compared to his first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump\u2019s GOP rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, raised $20 million in Q2. Other Republican candidates have reported lower amounts, with Vivek Ramaswamy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/meetthepressblog\/gop-presidential-self-funders-announce-second-quarter-hauls-rcna94315\">raising<\/a> $7.7 million, Nikki Haley at $5.3 million, and Mike Pence <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2023\/07\/14\/politics\/mike-pence-fundraising-republican-primary\/index.html\">receiving<\/a> $1.2 million.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mr. Biden is far ahead in terms of donations when compared to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who <a href=\"https:\/\/docquery.fec.gov\/cgi-bin\/forms\/C00836916\/1713048\/\">raised<\/a> $6.36 million between February and June, according to a disclosure filing.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5360626\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/06\/28\/id5360626-EpochImages-3668129263-xl-1200x802.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<p>Mr. Biden also beats Mr. Kennedy Jr. in terms of poll support. According to a Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll (<a href=\"https:\/\/harvardharrispoll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/HHP_June2023_KeyResults.pdf\">pdf<\/a>) from mid-June, Biden garnered the support of 62 percent of Democrat voters in the primaries, with Kennedy Jr. getting 15 percent support.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-fundraising-2024-reelection-campaign-democrats-5b8d97914118bb4ad6ccce5fece43ee4\">cleared<\/a> the field of any serious rivals for the Democratic nomination, has nevertheless been confronting persistent concerns from within the party about voter enthusiasm for an 80-year-old candidate. The fundraising number is likely to quiet but not eliminate some concerns about whether Biden can assemble the support necessary for a successful campaign.<\/p>\n<p>His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-bidens-2024-campaign-has-raised-over-72-million\/\" title=\"Joe Biden's 2024 campaign has amassed M+ in funds.\">2020 effort topped  billion<\/a> in donations.<\/p>\n<p>Surveys show Democrats would prefer another candidate to run, but there is no consensus within the party about an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is fantastic,\u201d said Democratic donor Robert Wolf. \u201cThe calls I was getting before they announced were: \u2018Is he going to beat Trump? Is he going to beat (Florida Gov. Ron) DeSantis?\u2019 And he blew them out of the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Public Support for Candidates, Presidential Party Debates<\/h2>\n<p>In a July 14 Twitter video <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JulieR2022\/status\/1679855140092739584\">post<\/a>, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, manager for the Biden-Harris campaign, said that since April, over 394,000 individual donors have made more than 670,000 contributions to the campaign, with 97 percent of the donations being under $200, and the average grassroots donation being $39.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Republicans are burning through resources in a divisive primary focused on who can take the most extreme MAGA positions, we are significantly outraising every single one of them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/joe-bidens-public-approval-falls-near-lowest-level-polls-show_5399316.html\">raising<\/a> double the money in donations than Trump in the second quarter, there isn\u2019t a big difference between the two in terms of public backing.<\/p>\n<p>According to a July 11 update from Morning Consult, Mr. Biden only had a narrow one-point lead over Mr. Trump in a hypothetical match-up among the general electorate.<\/p>\n<p>Late last m<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>, thank you for your support.
