Like, legitimately not trying to start an argument. Stuff like this where things are better than I thought is good news, so I genuinely would like to see that you’re right.
Biden has a lot more cash available than the 195 million in your link, that was the big red flag. I mean, he had this 30 million weekend, another 60 million just a couple weeks ago I think.
The math didn’t add up for your numbers and what keeps getting reported, but it was pretty easy to find where the wires got crossed.
Yeah I see that. As far as my original point though the Democrats are still way ahead on small donations. Assuming the PACs are all large donations, Trump has a bit more outside money supporting him. So the ratio between the two doesn’t really change, just the actual numbers being smaller.
The DNC gets about half of it’s donations from small donors versus the RNC getting about 30 percent. You’re yelling at the wrong tree.
You got a source?

Open Secrets tracks fundraising. I left a link in my other comment.
Thanks!
The confusion is that doesn’t include outside money:

Which also wouldn’t include the DNC share from the Biden Victory Fund.

Maybe.
trump also uses PACs and his daughter-in-law has the RNC purse strings.
The whole system is intentionally confusing and designed to make it hard to track money.
I did just find this article that I might post I’m not sure if 2 weeks is out of date tho

What we should probably be looking at for this is the number of small donors.
I couldn’t find that anywhere, but Biden did just pass trump on total number of donors last month, which might just be the Haley bump.
