Joe Biden pulled in $81 million for his election effort in the month of May, a massive sum that shows the extent to which Democrats have unified behind the former vice president as he seeks to defeat Republican President Donald Trump. Then on Monday, he broke his own single-event record by taking in $6 million during an online fundraiser with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a former primary campaign rival, that was attended by over 600 people. The amount of money Biden is pulling in suggests he won’t have difficulty amassing the resources needed to compete with Trump, even in the midst of a pandemic that has tanked markets, forced many out of work, or otherwise crimped peoples’ ability to spend.
