Neither Biden nor Hillary are “the left”. Both would have to run as conservatives if they wanted to get elected in Canada with their platforms and members of the Conservative Party of Canada would have to run as Democrats if they ran south of the border Centrists like the Clintons, Biden, Chretien and Martin.....arguably Obama....are just capitalists who think capitalism works better if you throw the working class a crumb or two once in a while to keep them from rioting. Biden out fund-rose Trump at every income demographic including people sending very small donations of less than $200. Because Trump is a lunatic and the country is a shitshow and millions more people support Biden. It’s that simple Quote

Infidel Dog Posted December 2, 2020 Report Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) There's no way of knowing where much of the Biden money actually came from because so much of it was "Dark Money." Quote Priorities USA Action, a liberal, hybrid PAC in its fifth election cycle, has received the most money of any pro-Biden, single-candidate organization. Millions of dollars have come into the PAC from the affiliated Priorities USA nonprofit, but since it doesn't disclose donors, it's known as a "dark money" group and we can't be certain who contributed to it. Biden supporters may also give to joint fundraising committees set up for the presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee like the Biden Victory Fund and Biden Action Fund.

Top Donors to Trump 2020 Campaign The latest list of PACs and individuals who have donated to them. By Deborah D'Souza Updated Nov 13, 2020 Donald Trump announced his reelection bid as soon as he took office four years ago and raised a total of $863 million, according to OpenSecrets. This amount includes donations to his official campaign committee and outside groups like single-candidate super PACs and hybrid PACs or Carey Committees. The Associated Press called the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020, making him the de facto president-elect. All state-level legal disputes and recounts need to be resolved by Dec. 8, 2020. If states do not name their electors by this date, Congress can challenge those electors. The electors of the Electoral College will cast their votes on Dec. 14, 2020 and Congress will count the votes on Jan. 6, 2021, formally certifying Biden as president-elect. He will be inaugurated as president on Jan. 20, 2021. Where Did the Big Money Go? Very large donations in U.S. presidential elections are directed toward super PACs (Political Action Committees), or hybrid PACs because of the $5,600 limit on how much an individual can give to a candidate's official campaign committee per election cycle. America First Action, a single-candidate, pro-Trump super PAC founded in April 2017 to support his agenda and deliver him a victory, has been the primary recipient of funds from his wealthy backers. Millions of dollars have come into the super PAC from the affiliated America First Policies Inc. nonprofit, but since it doesn't disclose donors, it's known as a "dark money" group and we can't be certain who contributed to it. Trump supporters may also give to joint fundraising committees set up for the presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee, for example, Trump Victory or Trump Make America Great Again Committee. Demographics The biggest industries represented among Trump donors this cycle overall are Health Services, Casinos/Gambling and Finance. Only $8,021 has come out of the president's pockets this time around, versus $66 million in 2016.

Republican operatives reportedly had to look his name up on Google when he came forward to help. 2.Kelcy Warren, Energy Transfers - $10 million Warren is the co-founder, chairman and CEO of Energy Transfers. The Texas-based company owns and operates the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline, which Democratic President-elect Joe Biden may shut down or slow the review process of. 3.Geoffrey Palmer, G.H. Palmer Associates - $6 million Palmer is a real estate magnate whose buildings in Los Angeles are known for their characteristic "fauxtalian" style.

The report did not mention which specific donors are under investigation. Here are the top 15 corporations that donated to the committee, according to Federal Election Commission filings accessed by OpenSecrets.org: AT&T Corp.
