Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign is holding off releasing its record September fundraising total out of concern that it will slow giving in the final weeks of the race, according to three people familiar with the campaign’s thinking.
The campaign is raising record sums of money and does not want to turn off donors from chipping in more or give President Donald Trump a rallying cry for his donors with just 25 days left. The September haul will become public when the campaign and the Democratic National Committee file their monthly reports to the Federal Election Commission on Oct. 20.
