The campaign emphasizes that Biden and\u200b Vice President Kamala Harris have $240 million cash on hand. The article\u2064 also mentions the campaign&#8217;s\u2063 strategy to downplay calls for Biden to step aside\u200d before the Democratic convention and the election. Biden&#8217;s campaign\u200c argues that replacing him would lead to\u2063 chaos\u2063 and \u2062weaken the party&#8217;s chances of defeating Donald Trump in the general election. The article highlights that more than\u2063 half of Biden&#8217;s fundraising came from grassroots donors, demonstrating his strength as a\u200b candidate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">\n<div class=\"tdb-search-form-inner\"><input class=\"tdb-head-search-form-input\" placeholder=\" \" type=\"text\" value name=\"s\" autocomplete=\"off\"><button class=\"wpb_button wpb_btn-inverse btn tdb-head-search-form-btn\" title=\"Search\" type=\"submit\"><span>Search<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden campaign projects fundraising strength amid calls for him to step down<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-author-name-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-author-by\">By<\/span> <a class=\"tdb-author-name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/naomi-lim\/\">Naomi Lim<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><time class=\"entry-date updated td-module-date\" datetime=\"2024-07-02T10:28:59-04:00\">July 2, 2024 10:28 am<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1692821\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a>\u2018s campaign is underscoring how he raised $264 million from April through June, despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/debates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>debate performance<\/a> that rattled the Democratic Party and resulted in calls for him to step aside as its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024 nominee<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden raising $127 million in June alone, the campaign\u2019s best fundraising month of the election cycle and its best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-campaign-pulls-in-53m-in-strongest-grassroots-fundraising-month-yet\/\" title=\"Biden&#039;s campaign secures a record M in its most successful month of grassroots fundraising\">grassroots fundraising month<\/a> to date, means he and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a> have $240 million cash on hand.

He won overwhelmingly. And if he were to drop out, it would lead to weeks of chaos, internal foodfighting, and a bunch of candidates who limp into a brutal floor fight at the convention, all while Donald\u00a0Trump\u00a0has time to speak to American voters uncontested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of that would be in service of a nominee who would go into a general election in the weakest possible position with zero dollars in their bank account,\u201d he said. \u201cYou want a highway to losing? It\u2019s that. And at the end of the day, we\u2019d switch to candidates who would, according to polls, be less likely to win than Joe Biden \u2014 the only person ever to defeat Donald\u00a0Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than half of Biden\u2019s second quarter fundraising was contributed by grassroots donors, another indication of his strength, according to the campaign. The president raised $38 million in the four days since the debate, the campaign added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast Thursday was the best grassroots fundraising day of the campaign, and Friday was the second best,\u201d the campaign wrote. \u201cNearly half of grassroots donations following the first presidential debate came from first-time donors to the campaign, bringing the total new grassroots donors in Q2 to more than 864,000 donors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeam Biden-Harris also now has 1.3x more recurring donations than at this point in the 2020 cycle, and 95 percent of all donations are less than $200 \u2014 another proof point of strong, sustained grassroots support,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Democrats have started more openly discussing replacing Biden as the nominee, including Reps. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jamie-raskin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jamie Raskin<\/a> (D-MD) last weekend and Mike Quigley (D-IL) on Tuesday, the latter of whom said Biden \u201chas to be honest with himself\u201d about whether he should be the party\u2019s standard-bearer, particularly considering the repercussions down the ballot in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will have implications for decades to come,\u201d Quigley told CNN.<\/p>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1692821\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1692821\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden campaign is highlighting its strong fundraising numbers, despite calls for him to step down as the Democratic nominee.
