President Biden is set to return to the campaign trail today with scheduled stops in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The campaign is releasing new funding totals for last month, showing a bit of a mixed outcome. In April, the Biden campaign raised $51 million, a decrease from the $90 million raised in March, which included a high-profile fundraiser in New York. Despite the drop, the campaign remains optimistic, highlighting that recurring donors contributed over $5.5 million in April.
The majority of donations received by the campaign are under $200, emphasizing strong grassroots support. Campaign officials point to these numbers as a sign of ongoing voter enthusiasm, even amidst lower poll numbers. Overall, the Biden campaign currently has $84.5 million in cash on hand, surpassing the Trump campaign's funds. When combined with affiliated committees, the total amount reaches $192 million.
The campaign plans to utilize these funds to expand its ground operation by opening more offices nationwide and hiring additional staff. Today, President Biden will participate in an official event in New Hampshire focused on veterans' issues, followed by campaign fundraisers in Boston. The substantial financial resources available to the Biden campaign indicate a strong financial position as the election season progresses.
