Joe Biden's first day haul contest

Last edited Tue Apr 23, 2019, 01:58 PM - Edit history (1)

Joe Biden's announcement is imminent. The anticipation is high and we're currently expecting it on Thursday ... what do you think his first day haul will be?

Beto O'Rourke currently has set the high water mark with $6.1 million on his opening day. Will Biden squeak past? Smash through it leaving it in the dust? Or fall short?

Put up your best guess and ... just like the Price is Right ... let's see who gets closest, without going over.

A few simple rules for your guess to count ...

It needs to be a reply to the OP (not a reply to a reply)
The amount must be in your post's heading
The guess needs be entered before midnight EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), Wednesday going into Thursday
If you edit your post after that time, you void that entry
If you put in multiple entries, the first one will count

Good luck!!!!

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

He doesn't have a database from a recent and very impressive senate run like O'Rourke. I'm going to say 4.5 million.
