Like, legitimately not trying to start an argument. Stuff like this where things are better than I thought is good news, so I genuinely would like to see that you’re right.
Biden has a lot more cash available than the 195 million in your link, that was the big red flag. I mean, he had this 30 million weekend, another 60 million just a couple weeks ago I think.
The math didn’t add up for your numbers and what keeps getting reported, but it was pretty easy to find where the wires got crossed.
Yeah I see that. As far as my original point though the Democrats are still way ahead on small donations. Assuming the PACs are all large donations, Trump has a bit more outside money supporting him. So the ratio between the two doesn’t really change, just the actual numbers being smaller.
You got a source?

Open Secrets tracks fundraising. I left a link in my other comment.
Thanks!
The confusion is that doesn’t include outside money:

Which also wouldn’t include the DNC share from the Biden Victory Fund.

Maybe.
trump also uses PACs and his daughter-in-law has the RNC purse strings.
The whole system is intentionally confusing and designed to make it hard to track money.
I did just find this article that I might post I’m not sure if 2 weeks is out of date tho

What we should probably be looking at for this is the number of small donors.
I couldn’t find that anywhere, but Biden did just pass trump on total number of donors last month, which might just be the Haley bump.
