President Joe Biden showed off his spirit by collecting $10 million in donations in just one day after his ‘fiery’ State of the Union address. According to President Biden’s campaign headquarters on the 10th, more than $10 million in donations poured in in 24 hours after the State of the Union address on the 7th, hitting its own highest.
The Biden campaign said, “We are grateful to the grassroots supporters who contributed more than ever to President Biden’s re-election,” and added, “This State of the Union address will help many of our supporters see who is fighting for them and this election for freedom and democracy.” “I was able to realize the importance of,” he said.
President Biden, who has been unable to overcome his slump in approval ratings due to internal divisions in his support base and concerns about his aging following the Israel-Hamas war, is evaluated as having laid the foundation for a reversal with his outspoken State of the Union speech. In this speech, President Biden sharpened his teeth at former President Donald Trump, who was confirmed as the Republican presidential candidate, and impressed Americans as a strong national leader.
New York Times (NYT) columnist Ezra Klein, who has been advocating for President Biden to step down, even withdrew his demand for his resignation on this day. “If the Biden who gave the State of the Union address last week is the same Biden who will spend the rest of the presidential campaign, the argument that he is not qualified to run for re-election will have no place,” he wrote.
“I hope he does.” It was calculated that President Biden’s State of the Union address was watched by a total of 32.2 million people.
This is an 18% increase from last year, and if the number of viewers watched through online streaming and social media is included, the total number of viewers is expected to increase further. President Biden also collected $42 million in donations last January, far ahead of former President Trump ($8.8 million).
However, in the case of former President Trump, donations to related organizations were not included, and since it was a time when Republican Party donations were dispersed, simple comparisons are difficult. Former President Trump, who was embroiled in numerous lawsuits, is currently using most of his political donations, which are military funds for the presidential election, for judicial expenses.
