Biden Raises $33M Since Debate, Admits To 'Poor Performance' At Murphy's Mansion
In a fundraising blitz, President Joe Biden's campaign for re-election has raised $33 million since last Thursday's debate, the bulk of that in New Jersey and New York, a spokesman said on Monday, July 1.
That total includes "grassroots" money from small donors, a campaign aide said.
