Biden Campaign Calls Trump ‘Broke Don’ Over Poor Fundraising Numbers
President Joe Biden‘s campaign mocked Donald Trump‘s fundraising numbers in an email, dubbing the former President “Broke Don.”
In public election filings, numbers show Trump’s campaign raised $10.9 million in February and $11 million through his joint fundraising committee. Trump’s campaign currently holds $42 million in cash.
Biden’s campaign raised significantly more, roughly $53 million in the same month. Biden’s campaign currently has $155 million in cash, almost four times as much as Trump’s campaign.
The email, sent on Thursday, says, “Not a Winning Campaign: Broke Don Hides in Basement.”
Trump repeatedly said Biden was “hiding in his basement” during the 2020 campaign during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Trump can’t raise money, isn’t campaigning, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.”
While Biden has been traveling to the battleground states, Trump has only held a rally in Ohio and stayed at his Florida home throughout March.
Ammar Moussa, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, said, “We are two weeks into the general election and Donald Trump can’t raise money, is hiding at his country club, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists take over his campaign. That is not a winning strategy.”
Biden’s campaign also dissed Trump’s efforts to raise money by contacting donors to “help cover your personal debts instead of funding your campaign.” The comment most likely references Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. Earlier this month, a judge said Giuliani could appeal his $148 million defamation verdict if donors cover his legal fees.
This week, Trump claimed he had $500 million in cash to cover his $464 million bond in a civil fraud case.
