President Joe Biden speaks at the Washoe Democratic Party Office in Reno, Nev., March 19, 2024
US PRESIDENT Joe Biden’s re-election campaign and the Democrat Party national committee said at the weekend that they had raised more than $90 million (£71.2m) in March and ended the year’s first quarter with more than $192m (£151.9m) in cash available, further increasing their financial lead over Donald Trump and the Republicans.
The Biden campaign and its affiliates reported collecting $187m (£147.9m) from January to March and said that 96 per cent of all donations were of less than $200 (£158).
That total was bolstered by the over $26m (£20.5m) that Mr Biden reported raising from a March 28 event at Radio City Music Hall in New York that featured former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
International solidarity can ensure that Trump and his machine cannot prevail without a level of political and economic cost that he will not want to pay, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
