DNC Chair on Trump's cash crunch: 'He's a broke, small, thin-skinned, wannabe dictator'

President Biden's re-election campaign is taking a whole new turn. He is coming off the largest political fundraiser in American history at New York's Radio City Music Hall, where he raised a record $26 million. Thursday's lavish event featured comedians Steven Co Bear and two two... Democratic Presidents Clinton and Obama, who gave their former vice president a glowing endorsement, isn't just the negative case against the other side's presumptive nominee, is the positive case for someone who has done an outstanding job in the presidency, all that presidential star power he has Added to Biden's enormous monetary lead over Donald Trump even before Thursday's historic Hall, Biden had more than twice as much

cash

on hand .

Like Trump and unlike Trump, who is overwhelmed by legal bills and uses some of his donors'

cash

to pay them, Biden's dollars will actually be spent. about his campaign, the Biden Harris campaign has already launched a new TV ad urging Nikki Haley voters to choose them over Trump, part of a $30 million national advertising blitz, he's not presidential Timber, no I need votes, we have all the votes, we need it. Has he gone crazy? There aren't so many neble Trumpers anymore. How can you bring these Micki Haley voters back into the tank? I'm not sure we need too many.

Offices have opened in battleground states, and it's not just the nation's top Democrat who is gaining momentum this week in Alabama, a Democrat who won a seat in the state House by running openly on reproductive rights. His decisive victory could be a harbinger of how successful the issue could be for Democrats are moving up and down the ballot this November, while for Trump, the man accused of four indictments for 88 felonies continues to run in a Law and Order at vigil Thursday for a New York City police officer killed while on duty, spoke in support of law enforcement saying police are the best people we don't care about, Trump has called hostages to those in jail for physically attacking police officers during the January 6 insurrection and has pledged to free them if he wins the White House in November.

Trump's visit. to Long Island was his first public appearance outside of a courtroom in more than a week. All of these cases against him are proving very costly for the Trump campaign. The New York Times reports cite that Trump has averaged more than $90,000 a day in legal costs related to Trump for more than three years, none of it was paid for with his own money. Trump has a big fundraiser a week from tonight at his Florida home, an event his campaign says will surpass Biden's $26 million event no matter how much is raised, according to the Associated Press.

Trump's lawyers will receive a portion of that money. This won't be like the Democratic T-shirt at Radio City Music Hall. AP reports that the party's top favor at the maralago fet will be a personalized copy of Trump's coffee table book and don't expect any A.-list celebrities—heck, don't expect former Republican President George W. Bush or the Trump's vice president, Mike Pence, share the stage with him. Both have refused to endorse Trump. coming to the Saturday show so take us inside Radio City what the atmosphere was like it was electric Jonathan um but we were unified in purpose and seeing those three presidents on stage these are the

thin

gs that came to mind honesty decency integrity Those were three servant leaders and that's some

thin

g Donald Trump doesn't know anything about these people.

These were people who understand that this country is about hope over fear, it's about progress over chaos. And it was incredible to see them there together, unified and, frankly, there's something, and you mentioned this in your opening, that's something you won't see on the Republican side. I don't think you're going to see George W. Bush on the same stage as Donald Trump because people understand that Trump has become a cancer on American democracy and they don't want to be affiliated with and defend that, so I mean, you just touch on this a little bit, but I wonder politically and nationally what message it sends that the president has the support of two former presidents, but also pop culture icons like lizo, well, it's just important because people know what's at stake .

America's freedom. The role of the United States as a beacon of freedom and hope not only for the country but for the world. All of that is at stake. and these are presidents who have been in the oval, who have gone through difficult times and understand the difficulties of having the weight of a country on them, but they also understand that we are in unprecedented times and that as a country, we cannot afford of having Donald Trump, a man who was really at the heart of the insurrection that we saw on January 6, a man who has said he wants to be a

dictator

from day one, a man who believes that immigrants are powerful. the blood of this nation, uh, when this is a nation built of immigrants, right, uh, he is fundamentally against everything that we represent or want to represent in the world, everything that is good, Donald Trump is against that and these other two presidents decided to defend Joe Biden because they know that he is a good man, he is a decent man, he is a man who wakes up every day thinking about how to make America better for all Americans, not just one Select President Harrison is still talking about Donald today.

Trump posted a video online of an image of President Biden tied to the tailgate of a pickup truck, Biden Harris' campaign communications director responded by saying, and I quote, Trump regularly incites political violence and it's time for people to take it seriously. just like the capitol police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6th. I think for good reason we are not going to show Chon Harrison's picture, but what is his response when Trump did such a thing? You know, this is emblematic of Jonathan. He really is a

small

, thin-

skinned

, bankrupt would-be

dictator

who is calling for a bloodbath when, when he loses the election in November, he is a man who regularly incites political violence and people need to understand that these threats must be taken serious and we must make sure that this man is not even close to being able to return to the White House and that is why Democrats are working day and night to do what is best for the American people and we look forward to November when he We will show Trump once again, once and for all, that there is no place in our democracy for his extremist behavior, which is why, as I mentioned in the introduction, President Harrison's reproductive rights continue to prove to be a very prominent issue this week last year, a Democrat who openly ran as a supporter of reproductive rights.

Rights flipped a seat in the state house, and now Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Lucas Coun just released a powerful ad about Ohio Republican Sen. Josh Holly's opposition to IVF. He listened after years of trying, disappointments, struggles and health problems. I just had this beautiful baby and I held her. and I just knew that she was meant to be her mother now that there are efforts to ban IVF and Josh Holly started them, so how important are you? this November, well, Jonathan, we saw it in Ruby rid Alabama, we saw it in Kentucky, we saw it in Pennsylvania, we saw it in Florida, um and I think the Lucas ad shows what we all know, what Americans are in every corner. of the nation already know that Trump and his extremist magga are dedicated to ripping away the type of procedure that allowed women like Jessica and announce to bring new life to this world that they are fundamentally ripping away women's reproductive freedoms to control their own bodies.

You know that I am 48 years old and in my life we ​​have been gaining rights until this moment when this right-wing Supreme Court stripped women of the right to control their bodies and we know that this is a slippery slope and we have to stop it, we have to cut it off. root right here and that is why these elections are so important and that is why we have to compete in every corner of the country. I don't care if you're the reddest state. Reddest district we need people to step up to run for office and make sure this is a central component of their message to the American people and I think we will win with that okay I just want to correct myself I said Democratic Senate of Ohio.

Candidate I met the Democratic Senate candidate from Missouri, Lucas Coons, one more thing, we are already president overtime, but the Democratic National Committee put out a song directed at Lara Trump, the co-

chair

of the Republican National Committee who released her own music the same Cowboy day. Carter, we're going to play this really fast and then just play it really fast, but it's a replica of FIS. Mr. President, you have 10 seconds to answer this question. Are you worried about trying to upstage Beyoncé? Oh no, not at all. but what we want is for Lura to continue focusing on her music career while we focus on winning the elections in the Democratic National Committee, the Republican National Committee is bankrupt, they are shamefully unserious and a huge waste of money.
