In a bid to highlight the financial struggles of former President Donald Trump's campaign, President Joe Biden's reelection team has branded him as "Broke Don." Emails from the Biden campaign referred to Trump's low fundraising figures, his absence from the campaign trail, and his reliance on individuals associated with criminal convictions and conspiracy theories.

Publicly filed election documents revealed that Trump's 2024 campaign brought in $10.9 million in donations last month, while his joint fundraising committee amassed nearly $11 million. Currently, Trump's campaign has approximately $42 million in cash. By comparison, Biden's campaign raised around $53 million in February, leaving them with $155 million in cash at the start of March.

Ammar Moussa, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, emphasized Trump's financial shortcomings, stating, "We are two weeks into the general election, and Donald Trump can't raise money, is hiding at his country club, and is letting convicts and conspiracy theorists take over his campaign. That is not a winning strategy."

The Biden campaign criticized Trump's fundraising efforts and questioned whether falling behind by almost four times in cash on hand and relying on donors to cover personal debts rather than fund the campaign would lead to success in November.

To showcase Biden's dedication to the election, the campaign pointed out that the President would be traveling to all battleground states throughout March. Meanwhile, it highlighted that Trump had only held a rally in Ohio and was spending most of his time at his residence in Florida. The Biden campaign also claimed that Trump's messaging was ineffective, referring to his mixed statements regarding potential cuts to entitlement programs.

Earlier in the day, the Biden campaign had taunted Trump, suggesting that if he presented such underwhelming numbers on his television show "The Apprentice," he would "fire himself."

As the election season progresses, the scrutiny on campaign finances and strategies will continue to intensify. Trump's low fundraising numbers are raising questions about the sustainability of his campaign, while Biden aims to capitalize on his financial advantage and maintain his active presence on the campaign trail.
