In the USA election Trump campaign and Republican National Committee resumed in-person fundraising. Raking in $10 million at a private home in Dallas and $3 million in Bedminster. At least 21 people of Indian descent figure on the list of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s list. Elite contribution-collectors pitching in more than $100,000 to his campaign coffers.
Indian-Americans involvement in USA Election
The list of 820 volunteers on the $100K+ list released by the campaign on Saturday. Showed that Indian-Americans made up 2.5 per cent of it. More than double the proportion of the community in the country’s population reflecting its deep involvement in American politics. As well its status as the ethnic group with the highest income.
Trump and Biden Fundraising
President Donald Trump has not released a similar list of top contribution collectors. Overall Trump had raised $1.57 billion by last month. Having started earlier than Biden whose collection was $1.51 billion. But Biden’s take has been outstripping Trump’s in recent months. In the first half of October, his take was more than double that of Trump, $167 million to $82 million. In the 2016 election, the then Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s tally stood at $1.2 billion. Double the size of Trump’s $600 million.
