Biden raises over three times as much money as Trump in March

Presidential candidate Joe Biden raised more than three times as much money for his campaign than President Donald Trump managed in March, a potential sign of voter enthusiasm for the Democratic challenger.

Biden’s campaign said on Monday it took in $46.7 million last month despite the coronavirus health crisis that has disrupted fundraising for U.S. politicians and hit donor finances.

It was a record haul for the former vice president and well above the $13.6 million that Trump’s campaign raised, which was a decline from the prior month.

Still, Biden is entering the general election contest with a smaller war chest than what Trump, a Republican, has been amassing since 2017, according to disclosures filed by the two campaigns to the Federal Election Commission.

I'm sure he is holding them hostage right now about reopening the government and what they can skim from the stimulus bills.

As well as expenditures by PACS

I’ve read that Trump’s campaign has hundreds of millions of dollars on hand, so a slow month isn’t going to affect him that much, depending on how fast the campaign is burning through their money compared to Biden.
