More than 97% of former VP Joe Biden's contributions have come from those who gave less than $200, his presidential campaign says.
Joe Biden is finding unexpected online fundraising success from low-dollar donors, with more than 97% of his contributions coming from those who gave less than $200, his presidential campaign announced Tuesday.
"We're continuing to build a robust digital operation that brings new voters to Team Joe and puts our campaign in a position of strength to take on Donald Trump," said Biden digital adviser Brandon English."On Day One, a record-breaking 65,000 people found us online and donated to Joe Biden. These are people we didn't have email addresses for 24 hours earlier."
Sanders, a prolific online fundraiser, took in more than $15 million last quarter from those who gave less than $200, including nearly $6 million collected from about 220,000 donors in the 24 hours after launching his campaign. O'Rourke took in about $5.5 million from donors who gave less than $200 during the first quarter, according to Federal Election Commission records.
"Every story until now has been 'Trump is outspending Democrats online,' and it's clear Biden and his team understand that," said Tim Lim, a Democratic digital strategist who worked for Obama and Hillary Clinton."They are putting their money where their mouth is."
