"Biden's Fundraising Efforts Fall Short Compared to Trump's Massive Haul"

President Joe Biden's campaign committee raised $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, falling short of his fundraising total during the same period in 2019 and behind former President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection bid. However, Biden's campaign is working closely with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and has raised a combined $72 million with state Democratic Party organizations. The funds will be used to support Biden's 2024 campaign and other Democrats on the party's ticket. The campaign spent $1.1 million during the quarter, with a significant portion going towards service fees and outreach efforts.
