Biden raises record-breaking $360 million in August

September 02, 2020 23:52

Joe Biden raised at least $360 million for his election effort in August, a record shattering sum that will give the Democrat ample resources to compete in the final two months of the campaign.

That's according to a person with direct knowledge of the fundraising effort who requested anonymity to discuss internal campaign details.

Biden's campaign declined to comment. US President Donald Trump has not yet released his fundraising figure for the month.

The money was raised in conjunction with the Democratic National Committee. While candidates face a $2,800 limit, Biden can raise far more than that through a joint fundraising committee with the DNC that allows him to collect individual checks worth upward of $600,000.
