Former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle argued that “no one” is excited for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, saying that the “proof is in the numbers.”
“Biden has always been a lackluster fundraiser whose campaign has had money woes throughout the Democratic primaries,” Guilfoyle, who is dating Donald Trump Jr., wrote in an op-ed for Breitbart News. “Only the reluctant support of the Party establishment allowed him to prevail in the race against Senator Bernie Sanders and his army of enthusiastic small-dollar donors.”
Guilfoyle pointed out that when compared to Hillary Clinton around the same time in her 2016 campaign, Biden’s fundraising numbers aren’t very encouraging.
“Biden took in a little under $47 million in March, according to recently released reports — more than $20 million less than Hillary Clinton raised in her first month as the Democrats’ presumptive nominee four years ago,” she wrote. “In fact, it’s about the same amount that Bernie Sanders raised in March 2016, when he was still an underdog battling Clinton for the nomination.”
“The Democratic National Committee theoretically ‘raised’ $32.7 million, but that figure is a mirage. More than half of that money, $18 million, is a bailout from Mike Bloomberg, who found a way to circumvent individual contribution limits by handing the DNC the funds left over from his almost entirely self-financed attempt to buy the Democratic nomination.”
Guilfoyle added President Trump has obtained “a steady, sustained outpouring of support from donors large and small continues to replenish his coffers. Three quarters of the RNC’s donations were $200 or less.”
Trump’s approval rating has recently reached a record high, while at the same time, some polls are suggesting he is trailing Biden in key states.
