President Bidenā€™sĀ reelection campaign is pouncing on former President Trumpā€™s fundraising numbers, dubbing its political rival ā€œBroke Donā€ on Thursday.

ā€œNot a Winning Campaign: Broke Don Hides in Basement,ā€ the campaign wrote in an email. ā€œTrump canā€™t raise money, isnā€™t campaigning, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists run his campaign.ā€

Election filings made public Wednesday showed Trumpā€™s 2024 campaignĀ brought in $10.9 millionĀ last month, while his joint fundraising committee raised nearly $11 million. It has about $42 million in cash on hand.

Meanwhile, Bidenā€™s campaign operationĀ raised roughly $53 millionĀ in February, which gave it $155 million in cash on hand entering March.

    Thereā€™s no reason for a sitting President to step aside and not run for a second term. Johnson did it in 1968 because, I think, a) he had already served part of JFKs term + his own term and b) he was tired of Vietnam.

    Neither of which is applicable in Bidenā€™s case.

    Second, Biden canā€™t do anything to restore abortion rights, that is not in his power.

    The Supreme Court struck down the ruling of a previous court, now itā€™s on the House and Senate to either pass a new law or a new Constitutional Amendment. Neither of which Biden has anything to do with.
