Trump Leads Biden in Monthly Campaign Fundraising for First Time

Показать описание

Donald Trump raised more money last month than Joe Biden for the first time in this election cycle, but the president’s campaign still holds a wide financial edge over his Republican rival.

Biden and the Democratic Party raised $51 million in April, compared to the $76 million Trump and the Republican National Committee amassed, according to statements from the campaigns. The president entered May with $192 million cash on hand, more than double what his opponent reported having in the bank.

Trump’s fundraising boost comes on the heels of attending several high-dollar fundraisers, including a Palm Beach event hosted by billionaire John Paulson, and garnering support from major donors in the oil and gas sector.
