The Left’s biggest fear is coming true. And there’s nothing they can do to stop it.
Now they’re in hysterics after Trump made history by breaking one record.
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, raised $50.5 million in campaign funds Saturday night, according to the Republican National Committee (RNC).
The Republican National Committee praised Mr. Trump’s event as “smashing every fundraising record in the book.”
“The success of tonight’s event is proving what we already know: Americans are fed up with Biden’s record of failure, from the open southern border and sky-high inflation to the migrant crime crisis that has made everyone less safe,” said RNC Chair Michael Whatley and co-Chair Lara Trump.
“Donald J. Trump is winning poll after poll and proving that the enthusiasm is on his side,” said campaign senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.
“It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November 5.”
The funds also arrive as Mr. Trump leads Mr. Biden in battleground surveys but at a critical juncture in the Republican campaign.
Mr. Biden and Democrats have about twice as much campaign cash on hand as Mr. Trump and Republicans, and the former president has had to spend much of his fundraising on four separate criminal prosecutions and a $175 million bond in his New York civil fraud case.
At the end of March, Biden and his team bragged about a seemingly massive fundraiser they pulled off.
With the help of former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Biden brought in $25 million.
His campaign even went so far as to say that the fundraiser was the “most successful political fundraiser in American history.”
Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, a campaign co-chair, described the event as “a true reflection of the momentum” behind Biden’s reelection bid.
If that’s a reflection of Biden’s momentum, then Trump must be even stronger. At least, by their logic.
There’s no doubting Trump’s edge over Biden.
According to a new Wall Street Journal survey released Tuesday night, Donald Trump has a modest lead over – or is tied – with President Joe Biden in seven battleground states.
Trump leads in six of the seven contested states, ranging from 6 percentage points in North Carolina to just 1 percentage point in Georgia, among polled respondents asked who they would vote for
in a matchup between the two.
Biden and Trump are deadlocked in Wisconsin, with 46 percent each.
The margin of error for each state was plus or minus four percentage points. The poll was conducted by phone and text from March 17 to 24, with 600 registered voters from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Biden won six states in the 2020 presidential election, while Trump won only North Carolina.
