President Joe Biden raised more than $71 million for his reelection campaign and the Democratic Party in the third fundraising quarter of the year, his campaign announced on Sunday, far outpacing former President Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP primary who have reported their results so far.
The president’s political operation with the Democratic National Committee ended the quarter with $91 million, the campaign said. Biden’s campaign did not disclose how that money was divided between the campaign and the party committee.
The president nearly met the $72 million that he raised in the first fundraising quarter this year, though that period was three weeks shorter since he launched his reelection in late April.
He’s going to need it after openly supporting a genocide that a lot of Americans are waking up to.
I don’t really care that I’m getting downvoted, but I am surprised?
I probably could have given more context, but I made this comment in good faith and genuinely think this will be an issue for him given the last several days.
Even if the majority of the country is in support of supporting Israel at this time, the IDF is committing verifiable war crimes against civilians, which the UN is criticizing. Supporting that both in words and funding is going to make it hard for a lot of people to vote for Biden who would have otherwise just to avoid any chance of Trump getting elected.
There’s been pro-Palestine protests all across the country this weekend. I’m seeing a lot of anger for him in other areas online from people who claim to have voted for him; more than I’ve seen since he was elected. I’ll be interested to see how support for him is in polls and surveys in a few weeks.
I could be wrong, but I think this will be one of his biggest hurdles next year when running for reelection.
