With the upcoming US presidential election, securing financial support from donors is just as important as winning over voters for the candidates. Joe Biden’s
re-election strategy has focused on engaging voters and appealing to their values, prioritizing issues like healthcare, climate change, and racial justice to highlight his commitment to progressive policies.
Unity and bipartisanship have also been key components of Biden’s strategy, as he believes bringing people together across the political spectrum is essential for meaningful change in the country. He has actively sought endorsements from leaders within minority communities, including Stacey Abrams and Kamala Harris.
Recognizing the importance of digital campaigning in today’s political landscape, Biden’s team has made significant investments in social media advertising and virtual events. This has allowed him to connect with voters despite the limitations imposed by COVID-19 restrictions.
Biden’s financial backers have been crucial to his re-election campaign, with donations from wealthy donors and large corporations as well as grassroots supporters across the country. With over $700 million raised, Biden has broken the all-time record for fundraising in US politics.
Despite concerns about the role of big-money donors in politics, Biden has pledged not to accept funding from corporate political action committees (PACs) to ensure transparency and accountability. While fundraising will continue to be essential for political campaigns, Biden’s focus on building coalitions and prioritizing progressive policies will be key factors in securing another term as President of the United States.
