Biden campaign raises $21.5 million in the second quarter
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday reported a formidable fundraising total of $21.5 million — a burst of good news for the vice president after his stumbles in recent national polls.
For Biden, who has spent recent weeks dogged by controversy over comments about working with segregationist senators in the past, showing that he can raise big money on the campaign trail is a welcome sign of forward momentum, as well as a reversal from his previous runs for office.Sign Up In the past, Biden lacked connections to wealthy donors that were more easily fostered by his one-time rivals in the party such as the Clintons and Barack Obama, and his 1988 and 2008 presidential campaigns did not raise notable amounts of money.
