(Patriot.Buzz) – Besides beating him in polls across key battleground states, former President Donald Trump now surpasses Joe Biden’s campaign fundraising for April by a whopping $25 million.
The Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee announced that they secured more than $51 million in April, a steep decrease from the $90 million raised in March.
In contrast, Trump’s team and the Republican National Committee reported an impressive $76 million for the same month.
Trump’s daughter-in-law and RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump emphasized this difference on X, mentioning, “[A]ll while [Trump] was forced to sit in a courtroom for a sham, Soviet-style trial.”
She further stated, “Despite their desperate attempts to stop him, the momentum & grassroots support is GROWING & will continue all the way to Nov 5.”
While Trump had a stronger April, the Biden campaign still holds a financial advantage overall. According to their reports, Biden and the DNC have a record-setting $192 million cash reserve, the largest at this point in a campaign cycle for any Democratic candidate.
As of the end of March, the Trump campaign and the RNC had $93.1 million ready to use.
Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said she was confident in their fundraising efforts, stating:
“April’s haul reflects strong, consistent grassroots enthusiasm for reelecting Joe and Kamala, and is giving us the resources necessary to invest in opening offices, hiring organizers and communicating across our battleground states in order to mobilize the coalition of voters who will decide this election.”
Rodriguez also criticized Trump’s campaign strategy, remarking, “Trump’s operation continues to burn through cash and lag behind our growing and aggressive campaign, with no ground game and no demonstrable interest in talking to the voters they need to win.”
She added, “We’re taking nothing for granted, but only our campaign is doing the required work every single day to earn voters’ support this November.”
Trump’s fundraising got a significant boost in April due to a $50.5 million windfall from a single event hosted at billionaire investor John Paulson’s Palm Beach, Florida, residence.
On Monday, the Biden campaign highlighted that since he announced his re-election bid last April, they have raised more than $473 million.
