The Democratic Party's war chest dwarfed Republicans' in March as the general election battle between Joe Biden and Donald Trump begins to take shape.

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.

    I cringe every time I see political funds referred to as “war chests.” It’s just so fucking macho. Gotta be a meme at this point.

    The boys and I would call a cooler full of Mountain Dews our war chest before hopping into Halo 2.

      Don’t matter how much he raised if the people in charge of the money are to fucking stupid to make sure you get on the ballot in OHIO. It’s like Binden wants to lose. Between this and putting energy into Florida instead of Michigan, Pennsylvania and other battleground states. It’s like watching 2016 all over again.
