They're "explaining" that they only had 66 days. Well, that would be due to his indecisiveness about throwing his hat into the ring. Nobody's fault but his own.

GE fundraising is another thing, altogether.

Joe Biden will have enough money for his primary campaign. That's all that matters right now.

He's one I haven't donated to because I assumed he would bring in a haul just like this. He's on the board regardless and that's what counts.

I've given to five candidates this far - with two candidates getting the opensecrets minimum so my name shows up.

He didn’t throw his hat in the ring until April 25 — about a month into the quarter.

12. It's reported that this was over 66 days, not the regular 90-day quarter period.

Remember that Joe entered the race at the end of April, which accounts for the 66-day reporting...

So, if we were to look the average donations per day, Joe would be at $325,757 (21.5 mill / 66 days) and Pete would be at $275,555 (24.8 mill / 90 days)…

So now we go by daily totals as opposed to quarterly totals? Regardless, with the highest name recognition of the pack, he should've been able to blow any unknown, like Pete, out of the water.

BTW, he only had 66 days due to his own indecisiveness.

Biden out raised sanders

Link to tweet

Biden outraised Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who was the top raiser in the first quarter. Sanders reported raising $18 million in contributions to his presidential campaign in the second quarter and transferred another $6 million from other accounts.
