Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday reported a formidable fundraising total that belies his recent stumbles in national polls: $21.5 million.
That haul puts him in the same strata as South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who reported on Monday he raised $25 million in the second quarter, and Sen.
Bernie Sanders, who reported raising $18 million.Biden, however, raised his sum in considerably less time than those rivals: he had three fewer weeks in the quarter to raise money since he entered the race on April 25. The Biden campaign reported it received money from more than 256,000 donors with an average donation at $49.
