Democratic nominee Joe Biden has repeatedly said that his race against President Trump is really a "campaign between Scranton and Park Avenue," referencing his upbringing in the industrial Pennsylvania city.
"I really view this campaign as a campaign between Scranton and Park Avenue. And I really mean it," Biden said at a CNN town hall in September. "Because, you know, when you're raised up here in this area, an awful lot of hard-working people bust the neck — all they ask for is a shot, just a shot. All that Trump can see from Park Avenue is Wall Street. All he thinks about is the stock market."
But new analysis from the New York Times shows that Biden's strong fundraising has been buoyed by individual donors in the nation's richest, most educated enclaves. That includes Upper West Side ZIP code 10024, where he raised more than $8 million compared to Trump's $125,913, and Upper East Side ZIP code 10028, where he raised more than $3.3 million compared to Trump's $763,909.
Trump raised $167 million in ZIP codes with a median household income of $100,000 or more, compared to Biden's whopping $486 million in the same locales, according to the New York Times' analysis.
