Trump Outpaces Biden in Fundraising by $81M in May After Felony Conviction

Jun 27, 2024, 05:30 PM

Donald Trump's campaign has significantly outpaced President Joe Biden's in fundraising efforts, raising $141 million in May compared to Biden's $85 million, outpacing Biden by $81 million. This marks the second consecutive month Trump has outrun Biden in fundraising, bringing his total to $170 million and significantly narrowing the gap. Trump's surge in funds was largely driven by an explosion of online donations following his felony conviction. Despite Biden's campaign having its best online fundraising day the day after Trump's conviction, it paled in comparison to Trump's overall fundraising success. Biden's political operation also drew more new donors the day of the verdict than any day since Biden launched.
