Like it or not, money is an important element in running for the White House. And this week, three different presidential candidates approached their financial needs in three different ways.
President Joe Biden has been aggressive in his campaign travel of late, making stops in Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina over the past two weeks.
“Folks, if America sends me a Democratic Congress. I promise you, Kamala and I will restore the law of the land to Roe vs. Wade,” President Biden said during a stop in North Carolina on Tuesday.
He’s heading to New York on Thursday evening for an event featuring former President Bill Clinton and former President Barack Obama. According to NBC News, the event is expected to raise more than $10 million in a single night.

President Biden’s team is also currently win the fundraising battle. According to the latest campaign finance reports, the president’s campaign had nearly $120 million more than former President Donald Trump.
Civil and criminal court cases have limited Trump’s campaign time.
“I don’t know how you can have a trial like this in the middle of an election, a presidential election,” Trump said after his New York court appearance Monday.
The presumptive Republican nominee has participated in small fundraising events in recent weeks, but he has not held large rallies. The last time the Trump campaign held one was March 9 in Georgia.
Although these large events demonstrate enthusiasm for the Trump campaign, they can cost up to half a million dollars.

Meanwhile, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially made Nicole Shanahan his running mate. She is a Silicon Valley lawyer and philanthropist, who is expected to invest her own personal wealth in the campaign.
“If you are one of these disillusioned Republicans, I encourage you to join me, a disillusioned Democrat, in this movement to unify and heal America,” Shanahan said Tuesday in Oakland, California.
According to Open secrets, all the 2024 presidential candidates have already come together to raise nearly half a billion dollars, and election day is still more than 220 days away.
