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.
