After his State of the Union address, Biden raises $10 million in a single day.In the 24 hours that followed his acerbic State of the Union speech, in which he accused Donald Trump of undermining democracy and sinking a measure intended to solve the immigration crisis in the United States, President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign said on Sunday that it had raised $10 million.
In addition, Biden accused Trump, his Republican opponent on November 5, of hiding the truth about the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and caving in to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a 68-minute speech to Congress on Thursday.
Given that the Biden campaign and his Democratic Party supporters raised more than $42 million in January, the fundraising total is noteworthy.
According to Nielsen statistics from 14 television networks, 32.2 million people watched Biden’s State of the Union address, an increase of 18% over the previous year. Viewers on social media, streaming, and other channels were not included in this.
Using its financial advantage, the Biden team unveiled a $30 million advertising plan on Saturday that will focus on crucial battleground states over the course of the next six weeks.
According to a February Reuters/Ipsos survey, Biden and Trump are still tied for the presidency, with 34% of respondents supporting Biden and 37% supporting the former president.
