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.
Frankly, many have tried to explain it to me, but it always falls apart when I apply pressure, and the person gets upset. With how close and pivotal the election was, it creates very strong feelings, so I honestly don’t really blame people for getting angry.
But for anyone who was around, it’s very easy to remember just how huge a clusterfuck it all was.
Regardless, block me if you like, but that doesn’t sound like a very productive decision for someone who really is trying to fight for a better, fairer, more just USA.
