The haul surpassed former congressman Beto O’Rourke, who said he raised $6.1 million on Day 1.
By Michelle Ye Hee Lee Michelle Ye Hee Lee National political enterprise and accountability reporter covering money and influence in politics Email Bio Follow April 26 at 3:22 PM Former vice president Joe Biden said Friday that he raised $6.3 million in the 24 hours after he announced his presidential campaign, the biggest first-day haul reported among the 20 candidates running to become the Democratic presidential nominee.
It was not immediately clear how much of the money was donated during a Thursday night fundraiser hosted by David L. Cohen, senior executive vice president of Comcast, and his wife, Rhonda, at their home in Philadelphia. There were two ticket levels for entry: the maximum individual contribution of $2,800 or a $250 contribution level for “young professionals,” according to a copy of the invite circulating online.
The average donation made online was $41, the campaign said Friday, a day after Biden formally entered the race via a video posted to Twitter. Within 90 minutes of that video posting, the campaign said, contributions had flowed in from 50 states.
