WASHINGTON >> President Joe Biden continued to build on his commanding financial advantage over former President Donald Trump, raising more than $90 million in March together with the Democratic Party and affiliated committees, his campaign said.
Biden, the party and their shared accounts now have $192 million on hand going into April, according to his campaign — more than double what Trump reported in his coffers this past week. Since Biden began his reelection bid, 1.6 million Americans have donated money to him, his campaign said, reflecting a broad base of financial support.
These are “real investments that real Americans are making into this campaign,” said Rufus Gifford, the Biden campaign’s finance chair.
The president’s numbers were fueled by a $26 million haul from a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York City that featured former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. His campaign also said he raised $10 million in the 24 hours after his State of the Union address March 7.
Trump has increased the pace of his own fundraising, hosting wealthy donors at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. His campaign said it and the Republican National Committee raised $65.6 million in March, Trump’s best fundraising month so far.
