Former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee raised a whopping $76 million in April, outperforming President Joe Biden and the Democrats.
In the same month, the DNC and Biden campaign raised $51 million, the Associated Press reported.
The gap marked a significant reversal of the March numbers when Biden and the DNC raised more than $90 million to Trump and the Republicans’ $65.6 million haul.
The Biden campaign said it had $192 million in cash on hand.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign had previously been pessimistic about its prospects of competing with Biden’s fundraising numbers.
One unamed campaign adviser told reporters that “[w]e’re never gonna be able to raise dollar-for-dollar with Biden.”
Last month, the Supreme Court delivered a major blow to Democrats’ hopes that an act of legal intervention would derail Trump’s chances of winning the 2024 election.
Axios reported:
The sprawling efforts to hold Trump accountable for Jan. 6 — including through impeachment, criminal prosecution, and the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause — appear unlikely to ripen before November.
Many Democrats are coming to grips with the idea that Trump can only be defeated at the ballot box.
But after a weekend that wrought yet another round of devastating polling for President Biden, that task is more daunting than ever.
