Biden says he raised $46M in March

Former Vice President Joe Biden's (D) campaign raised more than $46 million in March as Biden clinched the title of presumptive presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.

A press release from Biden's campaign indicated that the former vice president raised $46.7 million for the month, just barely beating the $46.5 million raised by his closest competitor for the nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), in February. Sanders dropped out of the race last month.

“It was your support which has made us the presumptive nominee of our party. That is something no one was predicting just a little over a month ago. Many of the so-called experts had declared our campaign over. Not you. You and so many others lifted us up on your shoulders, generated record levels of turnout, and propelled us in state after state to a historic comeback victory,” Biden wrote to supporters in a message accompanying the press release.

“Now I am especially proud to say that every one of our primary opponents has endorsed our campaign. We are leading a unified Democratic party to take on Donald Trump," he added.

I saw poll results where the question was how people trusted the people who are handling the virus. Fauci & the female Doc who reports every day with him were at the top, DT was down around 46% but Joe Biden was at 28% ecause nobody knows his opinion because he hasn't been heard from! Get out there and boot DT under the bus!

My concern is that the poll found Trump leads Biden by 11 points on which candidate would better handle the economy (47 percent to 36 percent). That is a problem.

If Biden's ads should concentrate on anything, it should be how Trump's economic moves have only helped rich GOP donors, and the ads should say what Biden will do to help working people recover from the Covid-19 economic depression.

events and rallies, but the ads they are putting out are great as they speak right to the massive failure in the WH now. No doubt this degree of hardship could have been avoided.
