Joint effort by two Democratic super PACs raised $107 million so far in election cycle, groups say

The fundraising total, provided to The Washington Post, comes as wealthy donors have been consolidating around Biden’s candidacy to help him close the fundraising gap with Trump, who already has raised and spent record amounts for his reelection with four months to go.

In June, Biden outraised Trump for the second month in a row, thanks to a series of fundraisers featuring high-profile surrogates that drew several million dollars per event. In addition, he has kept an aggressive virtual fundraising schedule, appearing at multiple events per week.

Trump’s reelection committees still maintain a large war chest of $295 million and are supported by a super PAC and affiliated nonprofit that together have raised at least $100 million so far this cycle.
