Politico: Trump Wipes Out Biden Cash Advantage
A review of campaign filings to the FEC show that while Biden had a good fundraising month yet had major cash outlays, Trump had a great fundraising month of May and didn’t spend as much.
Just looking at large-dollar donations, the campaign reported receiving at least six times as many daily donations those two days compared to a typical day. And the fundraising spike was likely even greater, considering that doesn’t include unitemized donations of less than $200 or any donations that the joint fundraising contributions hadn’t yet transferred. In total, Trump’s campaign and the RNC reported just over $170 million cash on hand combined at the end of May, overtaking Biden and the Democratic National Committee, which reported just shy of $157 million.
That’s one impact of the Bragg conviction, yet we’ve also seen an uptick in Biden support among independent voters in post conviction polling. The next inflection point will be the debate, where the bar has been set extremely low for Biden. Will be interesting to see 1) how the MSM spins the debate and 2) what impact the debate actually has when the voting public is polled.
