Trump outraises Biden in July, breaking opponent's short streak

[still_one]

"The president’s campaign and the RNC reported raising $165 million, compared with $140 million for his opponent’s campaign and the DNC.

President Donald Trump raised more money than Joe Biden in July, after falling behind his Democratic rival for two straight months.

Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee reported that they raised $165 million last month — an amount they said eclipsed any single month in all of 2016. July was the largest online fundraising event so far, the campaign said.

Biden’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, meanwhile, reported $140 million in July. The overwhelming majority of donations — 97 percent — were at the grassroots level, with the average contribution coming in at $34.77, the campaign said.


Trump’s campaign also reported having more cash on hand than Biden, with $300 million in its war chest to Biden's $294 million. Still, Biden’s on-hand cash increased by $50 million compared with the previous month, his campaign reported.

The RNC also announced a spate of new hires, including 300 field staffers, bringing the Trump reelection effort to a total of 1,500 employees.

The average Biden donations for Joe Biden, 97%, were at the grassroots level.

The article doesn't mention where the majority of trump's donations came from, but I would suspect that a large amount of their donations came from wall street and the like

We will win this if we get out the vote

6. Could be...we know how "honest and truthful" Donnie Dipshit is, but

what I'm really saying is that you can bank on at least 3-4 "Dems in Disarray" stories from Politico every week until election day.

7. Your Politico assessment I agree with. However, the Politico report in this one case had less of a

negative slant than the other outlets

It also noted that the bulk of donations to Biden were mostly from grassroots support which is amazing.

It is pretty well assured where trump's money is coming from, and that most likely is the 1%, and probably illegal foreign money which isn't getting reported

12. I have no worries about this, we are going to beat the shit out of orange Donnie .

I always consider the source.

14. I agree, and the fact that over 90% of our contributions come from grassroots bodes well

[Demsrule86]

15. It does.

2. I have no trust in GOP's telling the truth . .

Biden's campaign $$ looking good!

4. They can't submit fraudulent reports can...never mind.

8. Oh, for sure, the RNC is totally,

absolutely not exaggerating the figures. I wonder if dollars matter at this point. COVID-19 came along and Donnie Huckster fell on his face —— flat.

9. Corruption trumps

10. Have you seen the Trump ads?

Spend all you want GOP, your candidate is shit and your ads are garbage.

11. Paging Mr. Bloomberg.

13. Most of that will

somehow end up in trumps pocket, not his campaign. He will funnel every penny he can into his own businesses until the day he leaves office.
