Biden fundraising after the debate absolutely tanked. That's one reason why Harris got crazy post-dropout fundraising numbers. She caught a windfall of money that had been earmarked for Biden. Did anyone have a gun to his head? Probably not. But they might as well have. You can't run a national campaign full of high dollar media markets without billions in donor dollars. permalink fedilink source parent
