"Trump's Fundraisers Rake in Historic Millions, Drawing Criticism from Biden"

President Biden criticized Donald Trump's high-dollar fundraiser in Florida, contrasting it with his own small-dollar fundraising approach and touting his campaign's $90 million intake for March. Trump's event, hosted by hedge funder John Paulson, attracted prominent Republicans who paid between $250,000 and $814,000 for entry. Biden highlighted his campaign's 1.6 million individual donors, with over half a million being new since 2020, but did not mention his own recent lavish New York City fundraiser. This comes as a sharp turnaround for Biden, as Trump and his GOP committees took in a record $626.6 million from grassroots givers in 2020.

"Democrat Anxiety Mounts as Grassroots Fundraising Takes a Devastating Blow"

The Democratic Party is experiencing a decline in grassroots engagement and small-dollar donations, raising concerns about Joe Biden's ability to excite the Democratic base and win a second term. Analysis of fundraising through ActBlue, the party's primary donation processor, reveals a drop-off in small-dollar giving compared to the previous election cycle. The lack of enthusiasm among small donors is seen as a warning sign for Democrats, prompting calls for a quick examination of the factors contributing to this enthusiasm gap. The decline in fundraising may force candidates to spend more time fundraising, rely on big donors, or make do with less. The threat of Donald Trump, once a major driver of Democratic fundraising, appears to be less motivating for donors.
