Democrats see fundraising boom following wild debate between Trump and Biden
Joe Biden and his party scored a huge fundraising windfall during and after Tuesday nights acrimonious debate with President Donald Trump.
The Democratic fundraising website ActBlue processed close to $8 million between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET, according to the sites live ticker. By 9:30 a.m. ET Wednesday, it showed that, since the start of the debate, at least $25 million had gone through the site to various campaigns and committees up and down the ballot.
Biden campaign officials told reporters late Tuesday they raised $3.8 million between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. through ActBlue, which they said was the sites one-hour record.
