Despite Democrats’ objections to “dark money” — money raised from outside groups that collect it from anonymous donors so that it cannot be traced back — President Joe Biden raised a record amount of “dark money” during the 2020 presidential campaign, according to a Tuesday report from Bloomberg.

“Biden raked in about $145 million in donations from anonymous donors to outside groups backing him, far outstripping the $28.4 million spent on behalf of his rival, former President Donald Trump,” Fox News added. “It also tops the previous record of $113 million in dark money donations spent on behalf of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012.”
