Former Vice President Joe Biden reached out to at least a half-dozen supporters Tuesday to tell them he intends to run for president and to ask for their help in lining up contributions from major donors so he can quickly raise several million dollars, said a person familiar with the matter.

Biden has expressed concern to these people that he wouldn’t be able to raise millions of dollars in online donations immediately the way some other Democratic candidates have, including former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, this person said. O’Rourke raised $6.1 million in the 24 hours after his announcement, while Sanders collected $5.9 million in the same period.

Biden wants to announce a large fundraising number after his candidacy is official to better compete in what is often dubbed the “money primary” that kicks off a presidential season.

This is another problem I have with Joe.

Because of him reaching out to who I presume to be a few, yet pretty ”big” supporters of Biden will likely inflate his $ numbers which I assume will most likely surpass Beto and Bernie’s although Beto still hasn’t announced his number of donors. Biden better hope his numbers aren’t disappointing.

Pathetic. The people don't want you. Once thing gets into full swing he's going down.

Ahhhh I wish I was old enough to vote for him the first time he ran. I really like that he's not aiming to win but instead get a bold progressive voice into the debates.

If he were to run, he would aim not to win, but instead to qualify for the 2020 Democratic debates in order to send a message that no other candidate, not even Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard, is willing to issue.

All of the policies listed on that website are perfect. I'd be donating to him and asking everyone I know to as well.

Damn, you’re right! The wrong Alaskan former Senator might be running!
