Biden campaign projects fundraising strength amid calls for him to step down

President Joe Biden‘s campaign is underscoring how he raised $264 million from April through June, despite a debate performance that rattled the Democratic Party and resulted in calls for him to step aside as its 2024 nominee.

Biden raising $127 million in June alone, the campaign’s best fundraising month of the election cycle and its best grassroots fundraising month to date, means he and Vice President Kamala Harris have $240 million cash on hand. But former President Donald Trump disclosed he raised $331 million during the second quarter, with $285 million in the bank.
