Joe Biden Holds Official Presidential Campaign Kickoff Rally In Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA, PA - MAY 18: Former U.S. Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden speaks during a campaign kickoff rally, May 18, 2019 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since Biden announced his candidacy in late April, he has taken the top spot in all polls of the sprawling Democratic primary field. Biden's rally on Saturday was his first large-scale campaign rally after doing smaller events in Iowa and New Hampshire in the past few weeks.

Not a week has passed when reports of newly inaugurated President Biden has gotten campaign fund of "dark" money. Compared to Trump Campaigns, sources were mostly funded by genuine sources, and business background helped.

According to some sources, "unknown funds" played a significant role in presidential campaigns, but Joe Biden's recent election is the most by any standards.

Reports of funds received anonymously say it is the most record-breaking for anyone. The vast amounts were instrumental in going toe-to-toe with Trump's money to win the White House over a popular president, reported the Blaze.

Sources say a report by Bloomberg reveals that the Biden campaign accepted these untraced funds. Another is these untraced funds much more than the Trump campaign at any stage of the election.

The exact amount received by President's Biden's is $145 million for the 2020 election itself. It is far more than the record of the $113 million campaign of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who failed to win over the presidential bid of Barack Obama.

By contrast, Former President Donald Trump's anonymous donations were a measly $28.4 million, which is notable compared to his opponents' activities driven by allegedly indeterminable sources.

Getting anonymous donations is part of any election-related activity, but the amount amassed by Biden might be alleged to be questionable.

In late November, a report by CNN said a total amount of $320 million of dark money pushed the boost DEMS in the White House and congressional races.

More money was at their disposal using anonymous dollars than the Republicans in federal elections. Data was used to come up with this analysis.

In a Yahoo News report, the newly inaugurated President Biden is alleged to have collected a whopping $1.5 billion. The amount is the most that any challenger has amassed for any United States election for the record.

Meredith McGehee, the executive director of campaign finance reform advocacy group Issue One, spoke to Bloomberg. Stating that getting undisclosed funds is a way for campaigns to avoid revealing who their donors are through keeping private credit hush-hush.

An organization, Open Secrets, whose mission is to be a comprehensive resource of federal campaign donors, defines funds from unknown sources as a direct influence of any political decision. They are keeping the sources unnamed to escape responsibility to reveal to the public.

At the heels of the Bloomberg report, President Biden said that some funds that are considered nonprofit as sources to influence elections are not acceptable. If any organization with more than $10,000 should register with the FEC, not conceal its donors, said the South China Morning Post.

According to Amy Kurtz, an executive director of the left-leaning nonprofit Sixteen Thirty Fund, in a statement, an overhaul of the Current campaign finance system is needed but moves to equalize current laws are made.

In the third quarter of 2020, the DEMS got $1.5 billion through communist oriented crowdfunding website ActBlue, reported the Politico. The impact of Dark money in the election of newly inaugurated President Biden is in focus. No response is given to the reports.
