THE LATEST

Biden is crushing Trump financially. That's got to hurt — in more ways than one.

By Susan Del Percio

The polls might be tight, but President Joe Biden is trouncing former President Donald Trump in the race for campaign cash. Following a star-studded New York City fundraiser that hauled in over $26 million in just a few hours, it's clear Biden has a financial advantage over his embattled challenger. This advantage provides the Biden campaign with a unique opportunity to keep fine-tuning his message, especially in response to big events like the State of the Union. This can be done with little response from his opponent, unless you count incoherent press events delivered after a day in court.

According to financial reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Biden's campaign and the Democratic National Committee had close to $100 million in cash at the end of February. That's more than twice as much as the comparable combined cash funds of the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee, notes Politico.

This is a preview of Susan Del Percio's latest article. Read the full column here.
