The DNC’s 100-Day Cash Haul

May 2, 2021 at 6:07 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“The Democratic National Committee raised $15.4 million online during President Biden’s first 100 days, beating its fundraising during either President Obama or President Trump’s first 100 days,” Axios reports.

“The haul suggests the Democrats’ stellar small-dollar numbers last year weren’t solely dependent on opposition to Trump, as many in the party feared. The average donation was $23.”
