Biden Shatters Fundraising Record

Joe Biden is expected to report a record-breaking haul of donations for August, raising more than $300 million between his campaign and his shared committees with the Democratic Party,” the New York Times reports.

“The sum would shatter past monthly records as small donors have poured money into Mr. Biden’s coffers, especially since the selection of Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, and big contributors, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, have given checks that can be as large as $620,000.”

The trick is to get on the right platforms in the right places. I.e. swing states.

Then gave again through the 30330 text ActBlue to help the August fundraising total, post-RNC conv. So glad the fundraising is going strong. I hope trump freaks out and strokes. Both were tiny donations, but I was glad to help.

and there is nothing wrong with averaging down donations. I know there are plenty of people who can afford to give the limit, but we are showing that Biden's support comes from regular people.

Reminds me of this dude I knew in college who just went around asking every women in the bars to hook up with him. A lot did. "Numbers game," he'd say.
