President Joe Biden has raised $40 million in the last five days, including $8 million at a fundraiser with former President Bill Clinton that is scheduled for Tuesday evening.
Politics FILE - President Joe Biden and Bill Clinton participate in a fundraising event, March 28, 2024, in New York. Biden is again joining forces with former President Bill Clinton to rake in campaign cash, with a joint fundraiser with the two men Tuesday set to raise $8 million part of a $40 million total that Biden's reelection campaign has pulled in over the last five days.
Last weekend's Los Angeles event — which also featured actors George Clooney and Julia Roberts in addition to Biden and Obama — was the largest single fundraiser in Democratic Party history. Biden has ramped up his fundraising sprint as his presumptive Republican challenger, Donald Trump, shows signs that he is gaining ground in the money game. For instance, Trump raised $50.5 million at an April gathering of major donors at the Florida home of billionaire investor John Paulson.
The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee say they've raised $141 million in May, padded by tens of millions of dollars in contributions that flowed in after Trump’s guilty verdict in his criminal hush money trial. The Biden campaign has yet to release its May fundraising figures. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
