Democrat Joe Biden and his party raised a record-shattering $383 million in September for his presidential bid, likely bolstering his financial advantage over President Donald Trump ahead of the November 3 election.
The campaign had $432 million in cash at month’s end, campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said on Twitter.
The haul outstripped the $365 million that Democrats raised in August, which was itself a monthly record for any U.S. presidential campaign.
Biden wrote on Twitter: “To every person who chipped in a few dollars last month – thank you. I’m incredibly humbled.”
Biden has held a significant lead over Trump in national polls for months, although Reuters/Ipsos polling shows a somewhat closer race in the battleground states likely to decide the winner.
As of Aug. 31, Democrats had $466 million available to spend on the presidential race, compared with $325 million for Republicans.
