Biden smashes fundraising records during chaotic debate
Source: Politico
Joe Biden's campaign hauled in nearly $10 million during the first presidential debate Tuesday night smashing its own single-hour fundraising record, as small-dollar donors continue to fuel the former vice president's mounting money advantage.
Biden's campaign raised $3.8 million during the 10 to 11 p.m. hour Tuesday night, as Biden and President Donald Trump clashed in a insult-laden debate. From 9 p.m. to midnight, the Biden campaign brought in nearly $10 million from 215,000 donors, including more than 60,000 new contributors to the campaign, according to a Biden campaign official. Nearly 100,000 signed up to volunteer for the Biden campaign during the debate, as well.
Tuesday night's fundraising totals come as Biden has outraised and outspent Trump, surpassing the president in cash by $141 million, according to Federal Elections Commission filings released earlier this month. In August, Biden raised a record-shattering $365 million, topping Trump's total by $154 million.
Neither campaign has released its September fundraising totals yet.

I want to fucking DEPRACATE the Rethuglican Party. I want that party to go down in History as the party of White Supremacy and hatred.
Killer Clown tore the curtains aside last night and exposed the putrid heart of it.
If you are a Rethug YOU have just as much blood on Your hands as the murderous men and women leading your party - you are awash in it.
Repent now and vote for Truth and Honor and Country, vote for Joe Biden and you may save your immortal soul - if you don't, then fucking eat donkey shit.
