Trump catches up to Biden in cash dash, but can he spend the money in time?

Thanks to a tidal wave of fundraising in the wake of his conviction, Donald Trump has all but erased President Biden's once massive fundraising advantage in their 2024 election rematch

The Biden campaign's months-long lead in the cash dash allowed his team to drown out Trump on the airwaves and to build an impressive ground game operation in comparison to the Trump campaign's much more frugal foundations.

But Trump's fundraising boost since clinching the GOP nomination in early March, and his surge since being convicted of 34 felony counts in his New York City trial, now allow him to match Biden in the ad wars and to potentially build a sizable ground operation.
