WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) President Joe Bidens reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee said Saturday that they raised more than $90 million in March and ended the years first quarter with $192 million-plus in cash on hand, further stretching their money advantage over Donald Trump and the Republicans.
The Biden campaign and its affiliated entities reported collecting $187 million from January through March and said that 96% of all donations were less than $200.
That total was bolstered by the $26 million-plus that Biden reported raising from a March 28 event at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan that featured former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Trump is expecting to raise $43 million for his campaign when major donors gather at the Florida home of billionaire investor John Paulson on Saturday. That would set a single-event fundraising record.
Bidens campaign says the pace of donations has allowed it to undertake major digital and television advertising campaigns in key states and to work with the DNC and state parties to better mobilize would-be supporters before the November election.

Trump to leave office with the worst jobs record since Herbert Hoover https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-leave-office-worst-jobs-030044152.html
Trump is the first president since WWII to lose jobs during tenure. The U.S. lost 140,000 jobs in December 2020 in the final jobs report of Trumps presidency. This means the nation has about 3 million fewer jobs than it did 4 years prior, UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA, meaning Trump will be the first president to lose jobs over his term since employment data was collected in this way. NBC News Now correspondent Simone Boyce explained how it all unfolded.

(125 posts)Thats how the money needs to be spent here in PA. There are a ton of independents and crossover voters here. They already hate the other guy. They need to be assured Biden is going to continue to be a terrific leader. The way to do that is keep touting the absolute booming economy.
