Before the three weeks that miraculously brought Joe Biden to the cusp of the Democratic presidential nomination, his campaign was limping along — and Biden knows it.
While Biden’s fundraising took off in March as he started stacking up primary wins, his campaign operation lagged well behind others’. Sanders had 1,215 people on the payroll in February, according to his campaign finance report, while Warren paid salaries to 1,203 staffers. Buttigieg had more than 550 people on his campaign at that point.
Lying in wait is Trump’s reelection campaign, which has been preparing for the general election for years and already has more than $94 million socked away in its bank account. The Republican National Committee has also built a big financial advantage over the Democratic National Committee that even aThe DNC ended February with $14.1 million on hand, compared to $76.8 million for the RNC.
“They may be playing catch up, but in light of how campaigning will take place going forward, they aren’t necessarily at a disadvantage,” McMahon continued. “The real challenge they’re going to have to face going forward is putting together a comprehensive campaign remotely.”
Came in patiently waiting for the barrage of foaming at the mouth Bernie bros popping of that Biden has Dementia and has hidden from the public not realizing he's private citizen practicing shelter in place. This should be interesting
Or he had every media outlet propping him up and DNC working overtime suppressing youth votes.
Sleepy Joe is a dolt, but the virus helped finish off Crazy Bernie.
Biden, who brought in $18.1M in February, was outraised by 4 other Dem contenders that month: • Bernie Sanders ($47.7 million) • Elizabeth Warren ($29.5 million) • Amy Klobuchar ($18.7 million) • Pete Buttigieg ($18.6 million)
