President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign says it raised a whopping $90 million last month with help from the national party.

Democrats’ $192 million war chest more than doubles the $93.1 million Republicans reported having on hand as the general election battle between Biden and former President Donald Trump begins to take shape.

Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee announced $65.6 million in fundraising for the month of March. The party committee and the former president’s campaign are sharing resources now that Trump has clinched the Republican nomination.

Republicans’ fundraising has lagged for the last several months. The presumptive Republican nominee’s campaign and the RNC have routinely raised less than Biden. Trump has hawked sneakers and Bibles as he juggles paying his legal fees with raising cash for his presidential campaign.

    Elizabeth Warren would be great, and she’s also old enough boomers won’t freak out about being replaced like when Obama ran.

    There’s lots of options, but you asked for one.

      Elizabeth Warren ran for the nomination and lost, and gave a full-throated endorsement of Biden after she withdrew

        She didn’t lose as much as she wasn’t picked.

          Yes, she wasn’t picked by Democratic primary voters

            2016 taught me the DNC isn’t shy about putting a thumb on the scale.

              The superdelegate system that caused very real controversy in 2016 was changed after that. Superdelegates no longer get to vote in the first round, so they only influence the outcome if there’s a contested convention. I believe they also decreased how many superdelegates there are

        When was that?

        And can you name a single major primary candidate that didn’t do that for the nominee except Hillary Clinton?

        Because I’m like 99% sure she’s the only one from the Dem side who didn’t.
