Donald Trump is likely annoyed by how much money President Joe Biden has been raising, but the former president should worry instead on the campaign cash he himself is wasting, a Republican strategist argued Saturday

Susan Del Percio’s column for MSNBC on “why Trump should be worried” delves into Biden’s “clear” advantage and the impact it will have on a man who, she argues, puts great stock in financial worth.

“These kinds of strong fundraising totals make for great headlines,” Del Percio wrote of Biden’s $26 million campaign fundraiser. “But they must also irk Trump.”

But Del Percio argues Trump should pull his focus away from how much Biden has raised and look instead at what his Democrat challenger is doing with the millions he raises.

“How you spend your campaign funds is what matters,” she wrote. “And so far, Biden has chosen wisely.”

    And Trump is siphoning money from down-ticket Republican candidates, right?

        It may not be his, but that’s all money that could instead be used to convince voters to vote for him. On the flip side, he probably is using that money as efficiently as possible, if he’s found guilty or has to sell a bunch of properties, it may turn off some of his supporters. Thankfully, Biden doesn’t appear to have anything like that hanging over his head(maybe the impeachment inquiry, but it’s appearing to be a nothing burger), so he can focus on convincing people to vote for him.

      At least the money from the main party coffers I think. There will still be wealthy donors and dark money PACs spending money likely still it sounds like. But it is definitely a plus that he’s funneling so much campaign money to his legal troubles.
