Biden campaign fundraises $27 million after first debate

The Biden campaign has raised $27 million starting from the day of the first presidential debate through Friday evening, a campaign spokesperson announced on Saturday.

The number comes in the middle of President Joe Biden’s post-debate fundraising swing, during which the campaign is looking to keep pace with former President Donald Trump’s recent donation momentum.

The Biden campaign, the Democratic National Convention, and Biden PACs and committees jointly raised $85 million in May, lagging behind Trump’s $141 million haul in the same month that the former president was convicted on 34 felony charges.
