Former President Donald Trump has once again proven his fundraising prowess, this time in the traditionally blue state of Minnesota. While President Joe Biden may have won the state in the 2020 election, it seems his support is quickly eroding. Data from the Federal Election Commission reveals that Trump’s campaign has raised a whopping $553,566 in Minnesota this year, dwarfing Biden’s $391,867 haul.
NEW: Trump's Fundraising Operation Is CRUSHING Biden's In Blue Statehttps://t.co/ViO21X0ool

What’s even more impressive is the stark difference in the number of unique donors. Trump can boast a massive 1,317 contributors in Minnesota, compared to Biden’s meager 466. It’s clear that Trump’s fundraising machine is firing on all cylinders, capturing the hearts and wallets of everyday Americans. Meanwhile, Biden’s fundraising seems to rely on a small group of wealthy donors, a classic tactic of the elite liberal establishment.
Biden’s reliance on big donors is evident when looking at the maximum contributions. A staggering 58 Minnesotans maxed out their donations to Biden’s campaign at $3,300, accounting for nearly half of his total fundraising in the state. In contrast, only eight Minnesotans donated the maximum to Trump’s campaign, making up a paltry 5% of his total fundraising. Trump’s support comes from the grassroots, a true testament to his connection with the American people.
The average donation to Trump’s campaign was a modest $44, while Biden’s average donor contributed a jaw-dropping $380. This stark difference reveals the true nature of Trump’s base – hardworking Americans who are willing to pitch in what they can to support their favorite president. Biden, on the other hand, relies on the deep pockets of the liberal elite who are more than happy to open up their checkbooks.
But the shift in fundraising fortunes is just one piece of the puzzle for Biden. His approval ratings among both Democrats and Republicans are plummeting at an alarming rate. A recent Gallup poll revealed that Biden’s approval among Democrats dropped a whopping 11 points in just one month, falling from 90% to a mere 79%. This is a concerning trend for a president only in his first term, as typically, party loyalty is strong.
Analysts attribute this decline to the mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal, rising inflation, and the chaotic situation in the Middle East. It’s clear that Biden’s presidency is facing numerous challenges, and his inability to maintain strong support within his own party does not bode well for the future.
Furthermore, overall approval ratings for Biden have taken a nosedive. In January, his approval stood at a respectable 57%, but by September, it had plummeted to a dismal 43%. These numbers should alarm anyone hoping for a repeat of the 2020 election, as Biden’s popularity continues to dwindle.
While Republicans have always disapproved of Biden’s policies, the sharp decline in support from his own party is unprecedented. This level of polarization and divisiveness in American politics is disheartening but not surprising, given the deep divisions that have plagued our country in recent years.
As the midterm elections loom, history tells us that the party in power tends to lose seats in Congress. With Biden’s dwindling approval rating, this could mean a disaster for Democrats. Trump, on the other hand, is gaining momentum, surpassing Biden in most polling averages and emerging as a favorite to reclaim the presidency. The latest Real Clear Politics average puts Trump ahead of Biden by a razor-thin margin of 0.4 percentage points.
It’s clear that Trump’s supporters are fired up, while Biden’s base is growing more disillusioned each day. If Democrats don’t wake up to the reality of their eroding support, they may face another devastating defeat in the upcoming elections. The American people are looking for true leadership and someone who understands their struggles, and it seems Trump is once again filling that void.
