The re-election campaign for President Biden says it has raised a whopping $27 million since his rocky debate performance against former President Trump. From the day of the debate through Friday evening, the Biden-Harris campaign told Fox News that it had raised $27 million. The updated figure comes after the campaign said on Friday that it raised $14 million in 'a sign of strength of our grassroots support' on debate day and the morning after.

The large sums of cash come as Biden's campaign seeks to address Democratic Party panic over whether he is mentally fit to serve as president following his disastrous faceoff with Trump in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday. 'I know I’m not a young man, to state the obvious,' Biden, who at 81 is the oldest president in the nation's history, told cheering supporters at a Friday afternoon rally in the crucial battleground state of North Carolina.
Biden's uneven and, at times, halting performance grabbed the vast majority of headlines from the debate and sparked a new round of calls from political pundits, publications and some Democrats for the president to step aside as the party's standard-bearer. Top Biden allies have pushed back against such talk as they defended the president and targeted Trump for 'lying' throughout the debate.
The Trump campaign – enjoying the post-debate narrative – had no need to immediately emphasize its own fundraising, but told Fox News Friday afternoon it brought in $8 million the day of the debate.
