The Biden campaign announced in a statement:
Today, the Biden-Harris team announced a $192 million war chest, the highest total of any Democratic candidate in history so far this cycle. The Biden-Harris team raised more than $51 million in April 2024, continuing the solid and historic work of the Biden-Harris team’s fundraising operations.

The Bidens aren’t kidding when they talk about spending in awesome states:
– More than 150 coordinating offices.
– More than 500 coordination staff in battleground states and increased organizational presence in battleground states
The communities that will decide this election.
