President Joe Biden's reelection campaign says it raised a whopping $90 million last month with help from the national party.

Democrats' $192 million war chest more than doubles the $93.1 million Republicans reported having on hand as the general election battle between Biden and former President Donald Trump begins to take shape.

Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee announced $65.6 million in fundraising for the month of March. The party committee and the former president's campaign are sharing resources now that Trump has clinched the Republican nomination.

Republicans' fundraising has lagged for the last several months. The presumptive Republican nominee's campaign and the RNC have routinely raised less than Biden. Trump has hawked sneakers and Bibles as he juggles paying his legal fees with raising cash for his presidential campaign.

Approval rating matter more than money...

Biden spent over a billion last election to barely win against trump.

If we ran a decent candidate, it would cost a fraction of that to get a Dem in the White House

Elizabeth Warren would be great, and she's also old enough boomers won't freak out about being replaced like when Obama ran.

There's lots of options, but you asked for one.

Elizabeth Warren ran for the nomination and lost, and gave a full-throated endorsement of Biden after she withdrew

When was that?

And can you name a single major primary candidate that didn't do that for the nominee except Hillary Clinton?

Because I'm like 99% sure she's the only one from the Dem side who didn't.

Jon Stewart would be just fine, but we can also just open up the convention and do it there.

The idea that you need to have a solution to bring up a problem is idiotic.

Approval ratings = mainstream media propaganda

What about Biden makes him not a “decent candidate”? Especially when Biden’s opponent is literally the definition of not-a-decent-human-being.

Do not pay any attention to this bullshit. VOTE like your life depended a on it. Because it fucking does.

What about Biden makes him not a “decent candidate”?

Voters not liking him...

Based on his words and actions in some areas and lack of such in others.

But it sounds like you're just going to tell me that voters opinions don't matter again.

And then complain why people won't just "get over it" and vote for Biden.

Beating trump is important, so why are we just barreling ahead with a bad candidate against him?
