President Joe Biden raised more than $71 million for his reelection campaign and the Democratic Party in the third fundraising quarter of the year, his campaign announced on Sunday, far outpacing former President Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP primary who have reported their results so far.

The president’s political operation with the Democratic National Committee ended the quarter with $91 million, the campaign said. Biden’s campaign did not disclose how that money was divided between the campaign and the party committee.

The president nearly met the $72 million that he raised in the first fundraising quarter this year, though that period was three weeks shorter since he launched his reelection in late April.

    Elon Musk is elected President in this way, because he said “fuck it” and put in $50 billion, with Michael Bloomberg taking the VP spot. As President, by Executive order he decrees your taxes will be appropriated to fund his X-for-everything-app hobby project.

    If a “legal person” is allowed to become president then it’s President Apple vs. Microsoft vs. Google. VP Candidates are Nestle vs. Disney vs. Lockheed Martin.

      Musk was born in South Africa and since he’s not a natural born citizen, is inelligble to be President.

      There was talk of changing that for both Henry Kissinger (German) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (Austrian), but it never got off the ground.

      If we wouldn’t change it for them, we won’t change it for Musk.
