Donald Trump is leading President Joe Biden when it comes to funds raised through small-dollar donations, suggesting that the GOP candidate has stronger support at the grassroots level for the 2024 presidential election.

Mr. Trump’s principal campaign committee raised over $32 million in the first six months of 2023, out of which more than $14 million came from donations $200 or under, which is the smallest donation tracked in the Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. Small donations made up over 43 percent of Trump campaign receipts. In contrast, out of the more than $19 million raised by Mr. Biden’s principal campaign committee during this period, only $5.9 million, or close to 30 percent, came from small donations.
