前副总统乔·拜登民主党全国委员会及其下属的联合筹款委员会进入9月,手头有4.66亿美元现金,这是一笔巨大的储备,将有助于民主党提名人推翻总统的努力唐纳德·特朗普11月,拜登竞选团队的一名官员在周日晚上向美国广播公司证实了这一点。
这一数额比特朗普总统、共和党全国委员会和附属的联合筹款委员会手头上的3.25亿美元多1.4亿美元。根据特朗普竞选宣传总监蒂姆·默陶(Tim Murtaugh)。
“45天后,@TeamTrump处于强势地位。结合w/ @GOP,我们手头将有3.25亿美元现金,@ realDonaldTrump大力开展竞选活动,庞大的志愿军已经联系了1.02亿选民&我们将有2016年的2倍或3倍现金。热情与特朗普同在。拜登没有让任何人兴奋,”墨菲周五在推特上说。
考虑到特朗普启动这一周期的巨额战争资金,最近几个月两次竞选之间的资金缺口迅速缩小是显而易见的。

早在4月份,拜登竞选团队和民主党全国委员会就比总统连任竞选团队和RNC手头的现金多1.8亿美元。

undefined根据竞选公告和提交给联邦选举委员会的披露文件,截至8月份,拜登竞选团队和民主党全国委员会仅比特朗普竞选团队和RNC手头的现金少600万美元。
Biden, Democrats have $466 million cash on hand, over $100 million more than Trump, GOP
Former Vice PresidentJoe Biden, the Democratic National Committee, and affiliated joint fundraising committees entered the month of September with $466 million cash on hand, a massive stockpile that will aid the Democratic nominee's effort to unseat PresidentDonald Trumpin November, a Biden campaign official confirmed to ABC News on Sunday evening.
That sum is over $140 million more than President Trump, the Republican National Committee and affiliated joint fundraising committees have on hand, which at the beginning of September was $325 million,according toTrump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh.
"45 days out, @TeamTrump is in strong position. Combined w/ @GOP we'll show $325M cash on hand, @realDonaldTrump energetically campaigning, huge volunteer army has made 102M voter contacts & we'll have 2X or 3X the cash as in 2016. Enthusiasm is with Trump. Biden excites no one," Murtaugh tweeted on Friday.
The rapid closing of the money gap between the two campaigns has been remarkable in recent months, considering the substantial war chest that Trump started this cycle with.

Biden's massive coffers going into September were due in part to a record-shattering August that saw the joint Democratic effort raise over $365 million. Trump and the GOP brought in $210 million in August.
President Trump’s reelection campaign, the RNC, and their two joint fundraising vehicles have touted a prolific fundraising prowess throughout the 2020 election cycle, together amassing a whopping $1.3 billion just from January 2019 through the end of August this year. They have already surpassed the $1 billion goal they had set for the election cycle.

And back in April, the Biden campaign and the DNC were more than $180 million behind the president's reelection campaign and the RNC in cash on hand.
Much of that fundraising advantage has disappeared in recent months, however, as Team Trump burned through more than $800 million of that through the end of July and Biden repeatedlyoutraisedthe president over the summer, including by more than $150 million during the month of August.
Going into the month of August, the Biden campaign and the DNC were only $6 million behind the Trump campaign and the RNC in cash on hand, according to campaign announcements and disclosure filings submitted to the Federal Election Commission.
