(Reuters) – Presumptive U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Monday said his campaign and party raised $60.5 million combined in April, a figure that could help the campaign compete with better-funded Republican adversaries.
“The trust you all have put in me as your presumptive nominee is humbling,” Biden said in a statement emailed to supporters.
“So I’m proud to announce that for the month of April, we raised $60.5 million between my campaign and the Democratic National Committee. And the average online donation to my campaign was only $32.63.”
