Joe Biden raised $81 million in May.

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign announced it raised $81 million last month, fueled by his rise in the polls against President Trump and growth in his online fundraising operation .

The $80.8 million haul by Biden and two committees associated with the Democratic Party came as Biden’s campaign tripled the number of online donors since February and counted 1.5 million new supporters “in the last few weeks,” according to an email sent Tuesday to supporters.

The new fundraising numbers partly reflect the full fundraising weight of the Biden Victory Fund, a joint enterprise with the Democratic National Committee established in May. Before the fund was established, Biden and the DNC raised $60.5 million in April, 30 percent less than the sum the campaign announced Monday.

But it’s not just big donors fueling the campaign, which said in its email that half of its May donors were new and that educators remain the largest occupational group in its donor base.

1. How much did Trump raise?

2. That was exactly what came to my mind as well

I hear 80,000 people have requested tickets for his rally coming up in Oklahoma.
Does that mean we can expect 80,000 covid-19 infections in OK real soon?

3. As of April 30 Trump had 107 million cash on hand. Biden had 57 million.

Thank you, James Clyburn, South Carolina, Pete Buttigieg, Sen Klobuchar & all the Peeps who made this possible!

6. It is just the start. I believe Biden will outraise Trump. Trump has proved himself to be an idiot

When it is all over more people, (in my opinion) will contribute to Biden than have ever contributed to any presidential candidate. Lots of people who never contributed to any presidential campaign, will want to get rid of Trump so bad they will contribute. Trump is not only a liar, he has proved himself to be a fool & idiot. He will not win. Trump's over all stupidity and insensitivity has been proven to all in the last 2 months.

7. Sad it even comes to this

Money in politics is/will destroy our nation. I wish Dems could have done something about this after Obama first got elected and we had total control of the congress. Public funding, whatever, something, anything to get money out of politics. Don't think these campaign contributions don't come without strings attached. DC is still the domain of power whores, the average person is not invited. Whatever the case, a Biden election is paramount on every level. a Trump reelection and we'll probably fall into a full scale Fascist Theocracy.
