NEW: Biden Camp Boasts More Cash Than ‘Entire MAGA Field Combined’ — More Than Doubling Trump

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign boasted they have more cash on hand than “the entire MAGA field combined” after 3rd quarter reporting — including more than double what ex-President Donald Trump has on hand.

In the first FEC filing of the 2024 campaign, the Biden campaign reported a $72 million take in the second quarter and $77 million in cash on hand — more than doubling Trump’s haul.

That prompted Trump to make a video appeal for more donations ahead of the Q3 FEC reporting deadline.

On Sunday morning, the Biden-Harris campaign released their third quarter numbers, which again far outstripped Trump’s haul — but not by quite as much.

In a press release entitled “Team Biden-Harris Amasses Larger War Chest Than Entire MAGA Field Combined” Biden-Harris boasted:

Today, Team Biden-Harris announced that it raised more than $71 million in the third quarter of 2023 — on par with the Q2 haul — demonstrating continued strong support and enthusiasm for the President and Vice President’s reelection campaign. The team is also reporting today that it has a historic nearly $91 million in cash on hand, the highest total amassed by any Democratic candidate in history at this point in the cycle. Team Biden-Harris’ Q3 fundraising is significantly more than any of the GOP 2024 campaigns, and the team’s cash-on-hand is widely expected to be more than the entire GOP field combined.

The campaign published a chart showing how Biden’s haul compared with the other side’s:

The release goes on to break down some of the numbers:

Team Biden-Harris also reported strong grassroots enthusiasm, which grew in Q3 from the solid foundation built in Q2. Team Biden-Harris doubled its individual contributions since launch to a total of more than 1.4 million and has brought in over 240,000 new donors who did not contribute to the campaign in 2020. Additionally, Team Biden-Harris doubled the number of sustaining donors this quarter over last quarter, for a Democratic record total of over 112,000 people who have committed to donating every month. 34% percent of our donor universe are new donors since our 2020 campaign. In Q2, Team Biden-Harris’ grassroots fundraising program made up approximately ⅓ of the entire raise. In Q3, grassroots fundraising soared to 49% of overall revenue.

“This quarter’s fundraising haul and historic cash on hand speak to the very real enthusiasm and support President Biden and Vice President Harris continue to build for their reelection bid,” said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Manager. “We are especially proud of our efforts to exponentially grow our grassroots donor base, now having over a hundred thousand Americans signed up to donate on a recurring basis from now until Election Day. These numbers are a testament to one of our core objectives early in this campaign: raise the resources needed to run an aggressive campaign that will win in November 2024.”

Despite Trump’s considerable legal problems, most polls continue to show Trump and Biden within a few points of each other — usually within the margin of error.
