Biden’s coffers swell

WASHINGTON: Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his allies have seen donations swell, several top fundraisers said, amid protests in US cities against the police killing of George Floyd.

President Donald Trump’s response to the demonstrations over Floyd’s death pushed new donors and some Republicans to open their checkbooks, the fundraisers said.

Biden, who will face the Republican Trump in the November 3 election, said his campaign hit a $6 million online fundraising goal over six days at the end of May.
