President Joe Biden's campaign and its Democratic allies raised $264 million in the second quarter of 2024, including $127 million in June alone. This substantial fundraising effort comes in the wake of a challenging debate performance, which had led to increased pressure on Biden to step aside. The campaign is celebrating the $33 million in donations received post-debate and highlighting a record 'grassroots' fundraising haul. The funds are seen as a crucial lifeline for the Democratic incumbent as he seeks to calm post-debate anxieties and bolster his campaign.
