Clinton nets a record $2 million for Biden at virtual fundraiser

• The partnership with the DNC announced last month allows individual donors to contribute up to $360,600 — a huge jump from the $5,600 maximum that an individual can donate to his campaign.

By the numbers: Federal Election Commission fundraising data for April released Monday shows Trump's re-election campaign raised with the Republican National Committee $61.7 million.

• Biden's campaign and the DNC raised $60.5 million for the same period. Biden's campaign alone raised $43.7 million of that amount — slightly less than his best monthly total of $46.7 million in March.
• Politico notes that the "Trump operation said it had over $255 million in cash on hand at the end of last month," whereas Biden and the DNC have "$97.5 million in the bank." The fundraising total of the Democrats' joint committee has yet to be disclosed.

The bottom line: The Democrats will have to raise much more to catch the Republicans.

What to watch: Democrats expect former President Obama to draw during summer campaigning significantly more than Clinton's fundraising total from Tuesday's Zoom event.

• "Obama is the kind of person who can make any Democrat give twice," a Democratic official told Politico.
