President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign says it raised a whopping $90 million last month with help from the national party.

Democrats’ $192 million war chest more than doubles the $93.1 million Republicans reported having on hand as the general election battle between Biden and former President Donald Trump begins to take shape.

Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee announced $65.6 million in fundraising for the month of March. The party committee and the former president’s campaign are sharing resources now that Trump has clinched the Republican nomination.

Republicans’ fundraising has lagged for the last several months. The presumptive Republican nominee’s campaign and the RNC have routinely raised less than Biden. Trump has hawked sneakers and Bibles as he juggles paying his legal fees with raising cash for his presidential campaign.

    Seems inconsequential. Trump gets free press and Republicans, despite not being a monolith, love voting red.

    The way voting works, specifically the Electoral College, Dems have an insane amount of ground to catch up. Also, everyone on the left (actual) is so disenfranchised from the process and the terrible candidates that get proffered. It’s exacerbated by disinformation and biased reporting.

    I’d love to be happily surprised but I think we’re getting a Trump 2nd term. Please, please, please prove me wrong, fellow Americans.

      Really hope America proves you wrong, as a second Trump term is very likely to spell the end of open and fair elections
