Biden Outraises Trump for Second Straight Month, With $141 Million June Haul

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the Democratic Party outraised President Trump and the Republicans for the second straight month in June, announcing a record haul of $141 million on Wednesday night only hours after Mr. Trump’s campaign had trumpeted his own $131 million total.

Both of the presidential candidates’ hauls represented huge spikes from May, when Mr. Biden raised $80.8 million and Mr. Trump $74 million.

The totals were impressive in different ways. For Mr. Biden, the huge sum represented a reversal after he had struggled with fund-raising for much of the primary campaign, as well as a signal that the party’s donors, big and small, have united behind him. For Mr. Trump, it showed the durability of his financial supporters, who delivered his strongest month yet despite a turbulent June and polling showing him trailing Mr. Biden badly.

Trump is having to spend a lot more money to defend states he thought he had in the bag, he’s even advertising on MSNBC...

Anybody know how much cash each campaign has on hand?

People are serious about taking the country back. No thanks to a revolution. Experienced leadership and stability is what they want.
