Trump Is ‘Broke Don’ No More as Fundraising Race Shifts His Way
- Biden team stressed cash advantage as key for winning election
- Trump’s massive haul in May gets him closer in the money race
Donald Trump’s fundraising surge, which threatens to overwhelm President Joe Biden’s carefully stockpiled cash advantage, was powered largely by an explosion of online donations immediately following his felony convictions.
Biden, who had no major primary rivals nor an army of attorneys to pay, has built up a $212 million war chest, a record amount for a Democratic candidate. Biden cracked jokes about “broke Don” while his campaign and the Democratic National Committee touted their historic fundraising compared to the cash-strapped GOP.
