In the world of political campaigns, fundraising is a make-or-break element. Candidates of all political persuasions must be able to travel, pay their staffers, create merch, and run ads to remain competitive in their races.

Naturally, politicians who find their campaigns low on funds often run into major problems. A well-funded candidate has an easier time reaching voters, ensuring their name remains relevant, and countering attacks from their opponents.

The 2024 presidential election is now in full swing with Joe Biden and Donald Trump both standing as the presumptive nominees of their parties. As the general election gets closer, Biden's camp is going after Trump on the matter of fundraising.

New 2024 election filings generate buzz

On Wednesday, formal election data revealed that Trump's presidential campaign raked in $10.9 million in February, while Biden's reelection campaign pulled $53 million last month.

With these numbers, Trump went into March with $42 million in cash on hand, while the current president kicked off the month with $155 in cash on hand.

The Biden team is also going the extra mile to make sure the public is aware of everything. In the aftermath of the latest election filings, Michael Tyler, the communications campaign director for Biden 2024, put out a statement.

Tyler declared if Trump's political fundraising numbers landed on The Apprentice, Trump would end up terminating his own employment. Moreover, the Biden aide cited the former president's rhetoric and policies on abortion, Social Security, and more as reasons why he "ain't got it."

Tyler also believes that even if Trump had more cash on hand, voters would still reject him.

A preview of what's to come?

Between now and November, Americans can expect a lot more swiping between the Biden and Trump camps. Once the general election officially begins, both contenders will undoubtedly (and viciously) go after one another on social media, in political ads, and via other forums.

Days ago, Trump said the United States would face a "bloodbath" and potentially not see any more elections if he doesn't win in the fall. Meanwhile, Biden claims that he defeated the former president before and will beat him once more this November.
