Top Democratic super PAC pulls in $36.6 million in second quarter
Priorities USA, the largest Democratic super PAC and the main outside group supporting former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential bid, pulled in $36.6 million in the second quarter of the year, the group announced Friday.
The group raised nearly half of its second-quarter total — $16.5 million — in June alone. And since the beginning of July, Priorities has raked in another $12.4 million.
So far this cycle, Priorities has raised $185 million. The group is planning to spend over $200 million to boost Biden. That spending could prove crucial as the presumptive Democratic nominee barrels into his fall campaign against President Trump, who boasts a massive war chest and outside support of his own.
“We have just over 100 days left until Election Day and our supporters are fired up to elect Joe Biden the next President of the United States,” Guy Cecil, the chairman of Priorities, said in a statement.
“Our fundraising success has meant that we've been able to go toe-to-toe with Donald Trump in battleground states while the Biden campaign becomes a general election juggernaut,” he added.
