So if Biden can do so well after being outspent

have few or no field offices in most of these states, how well can he do in November with a full funded campaign behind him?

Trump has several billion in his war chest it seems. The rich aren't giving back those tax cuts without a fight.

If he really wants to get rid of Trump, time to get out and continue hammering on Trump.

I know people hate the guy, and I'm not too fond of him myself, but he could be a key factor in the race from the sidelines.

Bloomberg couldn't hold off an underfunded Biden campaign. Imagine what Biden could have done with a level playing field.

Not to mention, doesn't Sanders have some FEC questions to answer??

And that is heartening. But I have a feeling the coffers will start filling soon. More staffing and ads are needed.

Obviously, Klobuchar's team helped, but she just dropped out last night.
