President Biden’s reelection campaign is pouncing on former President Trump’s fundraising numbers, dubbing its political rival “Broke Don” on Thursday.

“Not a Winning Campaign: Broke Don Hides in Basement,” the campaign wrote in an email. “Trump can’t raise money, isn’t campaigning, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.”

Election filings made public Wednesday showed Trump’s 2024 campaign brought in $10.9 million last month, while his joint fundraising committee raised nearly $11 million. It has about $42 million in cash on hand.

Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign operation raised roughly $53 million in February, which gave it $155 million in cash on hand entering March.

    There’s no reason for a sitting President to step aside and not run for a second term. Johnson did it in 1968 because, I think, a) he had already served part of JFKs term + his own term and b) he was tired of Vietnam.

    Neither of which is applicable in Biden’s case.

    Second, Biden can’t do anything to restore abortion rights, that is not in his power.

    The Supreme Court struck down the ruling of a previous court, now it’s on the House and Senate to either pass a new law or a new Constitutional Amendment. Neither of which Biden has anything to do with.

      I would say being eighty years old is a fantastic reason to step aside lmao.
