The Biden campaign is celebrating the wins they can get and touting the $33 million in donations they managed to rake in post-debate

The Biden campaign is celebrating the wins they can get and touting the $33 million in donations they managed to rake in post-debate

"$33 million raised since the debate, $26 million from grassroots donors," Biden deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty said in an X post on Sunday."Half! Of the donations made in this period are from first time donors. The Democrats grassroots is getting on board," he continued.The spike in donations would certainly be a source of relief for the Biden camp. For comparison, former President Donald Trump's campaign said it raised $8 million the day after the debate."Thursday was our best grassroots fundraising day ever, while Friday was the second best," a Biden campaign official told CNN. Representatives for Biden did not…

I moved back to the US after 25 years in the UK. People abroad were more polite than Americans, but I never quite fit in there.

I moved back to the US after 25 years in the UK. People abroad were more polite than Americans, but I never quite fit in there.

A Biden donor says giving him cash is a waste of time and money if that bad debate showed what Biden’s really like

A Biden donor says giving him cash is a waste of time and money if that bad debate showed what Biden’s really like

Investor Whitney Tilson, a longtime donor to President Joe Biden, says he's reconsidering his support for Biden after his stumbling performance at last week's presidential debate."I feel deceived. For months my Republican friends have been sending me videos from Twitter and Fox 'News' that appear to show Biden's dementia," Tilson wrote in an X post on Saturday."Though I was concerned, I was mostly able to dismiss these often deceptively-edited videos as the usual Republican attack machine idiocy because I remember how they tried to do the same to Hillary in 2016," he continued. "But the debate changed all that."The former…

Malaysia's $100 billion ghost city was meant to house 700,000 people. After few people moved in, developers tried in vain to make it into a tourist hub. Now, the mega-development is serving as a set for a handful of reality shows and documentaries.The empty city, just over Singapore's western border, was used for an episode on the second season of Netflix reality show "The Mole," which debuted last week. The competition-style reality series follows 12 contestants completing challenges while one of them secretly sabotages the other players. They race to grow a money pot prize and uncover who the traitor…
