Fundraisers say donations to Joe Biden surge as George Floyd protests sweep US

India Today  

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his allies have seen donations swell in recent days, several top fundraisers said, as protests against the police killing of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis roil U.S. cities. President Donald Trump's response to the demonstrations over George Floyd's death - including on Monday when police drove peaceful protesters out of a park in Washington so Trump could pose for photos in front of a church - pushed new donors and even some Republicans to open their checkbooks, the fundraisers said. He said donations were coming from people who were not previously Biden supporters but who felt compelled to give because of the coronavirus pandemic and the killing of Floyd, who died last week after a white police officer in Minneapolis pressed his knee into Floyd's neck even after he lost consciousness. "People are really fired up," said former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, who is co-hosting a Biden fundraising event next week that was initially aiming for $500,000 but which he now expects to surpass $1 million.
