together, and next up is new hampshire, where the president has had to mount a write-in campaign because he's not on the ballot, and he's facing a far off but challenger nonetheless, congressman deen phillips. are there any concerns about how the write-in campaign is going as nikki haley shows signs of life that could draw independents and maybe even demo democrats into the republican primary instead? >> well, listen, this campaign has made clear we're going to follow the rules put in place by the democratic national committee. that means south carolina holds the democratic primary. we're happy to campaign there. if you want to talk about the enthusiasm for the democratic base, look no further than the fundraising announcement. we raised $97 million in the fourth quarter, that's $235 million since the launch of this campaign. largely driven by grass roots donations, about 97% of the contributions that we got in the fourth quarter were under $200.

tonight, finally voters voting, and if donald trump puts up the win we think, then a trump nomination becomes that much more of a reality. we take one step closer to that binary choice, trump/biden, and that's when the biden team has always believed that people will come home. they'll vote for him because they don't want to go down the donald trump way. we should also mention a little news this morning. the biden campaign team's strategy has always been to start ramping up events this year because they spent last year raising money. they put out news this morning that they raised more than $97 million. the re-election team and the dnc raised more than $97 million in the final three months of last year, which includes $235 million from its launch in april. they finish the year with $117 million in cash on hand, which is the most any democrat has ever had at this point in an election cycle. this is going to be extraordinarily expenive campaign. democratic aides say to me that they think it is going to be about $2 billion. they're going to need a lot more than this, but this is a

republicans are starting their nomination process. $97 million raised in the final three months of 2023. that's an improvement on 71 million, 72 million that they raised in the two previous quarters. bigger, $117 million. that's how much the biden campaign has in the bank to start the year 2024. to put that in perspective, the campaign says, look, the republicans in iowa have spent $100 million combined on the air waves, just trying to get out the caucus votes for tonight. that's a significant advantage or the incumbent as we start this year. if you look under the hood of the numbers they're talking about, especially as it relates to grass roots support, the average donation, just about $40. 97% of the donors gave less than $200. that means that they can keep going back to these donors over and over again, through the course of this year. and, chris, we have to also mention another factor that boosted the biden campaign fundraising, it was the end of the hollywood writing strike.
