There maybe some doubts….
(He can thank the media and Republican’s)
But the Democratic President IS raking in the money…..
And he hasn’t done campiagn rallies, eh?
Biden vastly outraised Republicans running for president during the second quarter, in part because individuals can give larger sums to the DNC than they can to individual campaign accounts. Individual contributions to political campaigns are capped at $6,600 whereas individuals can give up to $929,600 to the Biden Victory Fund, which includes the campaign, the DNC and state parties.
Former president Donald Trump, who is running for the Republican nomination, raised more than $35 million in the second quarter, his aides said. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) raised $20 million in the same period for his presidential campaign, whereas Never Back Down, the governor’s super PAC playing an expansive role in supporting his bid, has raised $130 million since March. Most of that money was from a transfer from a Florida political committee once controlled by DeSantis….

The Biden campaign said that 97 percent of donations were under $200, and the average grass roots contribution was $39. It also touted that 30 percent of the donors were new Biden supporters since the 2020 campaign. In total, the campaign said it had more than 394,000 donors…

…Biden’s campaign spent a total of $1.1 million in the second quarter of this year, a remarkably small amount that would put him behind several Democratic Senate candidates in terms of expenditures.
Biden had four people on his payroll during that time: Campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez, principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks, spokesperson Kevin Munoz, and general counsel Maury Riggan. His campaign spent less than $1,500 on travel, accommodations and airfare. On rent, he spent nothing. He has not opened a campaign headquarters yet and much of his staff has been working out of the Democratic National Committee’s building.
It’s a vastly different approach than his old boss, former President Barack Obama, took in 2011 when he was running for reelection and spent more than $11 million in the second quarter of that year. And it has sparked concern among Democrats over what they see as the slow pace of the campaign….
