Democrat Joe Biden edges out Republican Donald Trump in fundraising for a second straight month in June by TrevorNews JarrettRenshaw
Biden and allied Democratic groups raked in over $141 million during the month, while President Trump and closely tied groups hauled $131 million.
Biden, who waged his successful primary battle against a historically large field of Democrats on a shoestring budget, is trying erase a fundraising gap ahead of his Nov. 3 election with Trump. Yet Biden’s fundraising has picked up since becoming the nominee and staking a lead in national polls after the coronavirus crisis and protests over police brutality against Black Americans.
Trump raised $14 million online during a campaign celebrating his birthday last month. Biden, meanwhile, raised more than $11 million last week at one event featuring former U.S. President Barack Obama, which included a portion for people who contributed as little as they wished and another, more private event for high-rollers.
