President Biden’s reelection campaign raised more than $1 million through online fundraising alone in the 24 hours after the president’s Jan. 6 anniversary speech, according to numbers exclusively provided to The Hill.
Biden on Friday gave a full throated attack against former President Trump, his likely GOP opponent, and warned Americans that Trump’s reelection would pose a threat to American democracy. The president zeroed in on Jan. 6 to mark the third anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riots and argued in his remarks that democracy is on the ballot in 2024.
In response to the 24-hour fundraising haul, the Biden campaign noted that they see preserving democracy as a political winner for the president in 2024.
That’s just not how it works. If New Hampshire decides to put Steamboat Willy on the ballot, only the SC could stop them, maybe. it’s kind of up in the air right now apparently.
Realistically, no one wants to give up that sweet national committee money, so they’ll probably cave, and it is the rich owning democracy. That’s why I kept saying you’d have to light money on fire to get it done, but it could theoretically be done: you just have to grease a lot of wheels.
Actually, never mind
tl;dr: be the highest bidder.
