Enthusiastic donors, many in California, swelled Joe Biden's campaign accounts this summer, and he headed into the fall with a huge financial advantage over Trump.

of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for contradicting his rosy projections for a coronavirus vaccine. And the president continued to undermine mail-in voting, adding to the potential for election chaos amid a pandemic.After each episode, Westly said, his phone started ringing, with even unlikely Biden donors looking to give more.

Trump campaign and GOP officials say the Biden cash advantage is over-hyped because it doesn’t reflect voter excitement more broadly.“Enthusiasm is with Trump,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Martaugh tweeted. “Biden excites no one.” He wrote that volunteers had made more than 102 million voter contacts and “we’ll have 2x or 3x the cash as in 2016.” The campaign’s $325 million, Martaugh added, puts it in a “strong position.

The former vice president has focused on raising money through Zoom, an effort that was balky at first but grew into a huge success. The flexibility and efficiencies of virtual fundraising enabled Democrats to deploy their deep bench of Hollywood celebrities, rock stars and political luminaries far more widely than in past fundraising sprints — for more events, with more big names, at little cost to the campaign.

For the major donors accustomed to seeing candidates in person, the campaign made tweaks, such as adding a virtual photo line. “We had each participant on the call introduce themselves to the principals, say something about themselves and their concerns,” he said. “We went around the room; everyone got to see and be seen before we had the general remarks and Q&A.”

Hello Fresno!

Not this Californian.

I love watching liberals continually throwing good money after bad. Maybe by the time the wealthy Libs throw all their money away to a lost cause, they will achieve that wealth redistribution they have longed for for so long. 😉 LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

I hate California and all the Libtard fgg0ts that live here

I ❤️California

Poll: Most Young Americans Prefer Biden, But Trump Backers Are More EnthusiasticYoung Americans favor Joe Biden over President Trump by 60% to 27%, according to a new Harvard poll. The survey also found far more voters under the age of 30 say they'll 'definitely' be voting, compared to 2016. So the party who told us for years that they were sick and tired of being governed by old white men are supporting an old white man.... So we get quality point multipliers on our votes for the enthusiasm with which we cast our votes? Like MAGAs get a hot 5.8 but Biden voters only a lukewarm 5.5? Meh.

Biden takes cautious approach to SCOTUS stormPresident Trump’s campaign and even some Democrats demanded that Biden release his own list of potential court nominees — which Biden has steadfastly refused to do. Biden should agree to release the list as soon as Trump releases his tax returns. He doesn’t have any coz he’s a placeholder for Kamala, he’ll never be inaugurated, you should ask her, she’s got a list.

Trump Threatens To Issue Executive Order Preventing Biden From Being Elected President'He is the worst candidate in the history of presidential politics.'

Idiots!
