Republican presidential candidate Tim Scott raised $6.1 million for his campaign with 53,000 unique donors during the second quarter of this year, and Gov. Ron DeSantis raised $20 million. Nikki Haley Raised $7.3 million.
The twice-indicted, twice-impeached GOP frontrunner, Donald Trump, and his affiliated political action committee had raised more than $35 million in the second quarter.
President Joe Biden comfortably outraised all of his rivals combined.
NPR reports:
President Biden is starting his reelection campaign with tens of millions of dollars in the bank, dwarfing second-quarter fundraising totals already announced by the campaigns of former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
According to an announcement from the campaign ahead of a Federal Elections Commission reporting deadline this weekend, the Biden-Harris campaign, Democratic National Committee and their joint fundraising committees combined to raise $72 million from April to the end of June. They have $77 million cash on hand.
“While Republicans are burning through resources in a divisive primary focused on who can take the most extreme MAGA positions, we are significantly outraising every single one of them — because our team’s strength is our grassroots supporters,” said Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chávez RodrÃguez.
That’s pretty impressive considering that their average donation was $39. And this haul is from a guy Republicans claim is rapidly deteriorating. It’s almost as if they’ve been lying. Maybe Trump can go back to selling his Digital Donnie Cards.
