President Joe Biden's reelection campaign brought in $10 million in the 24 hours after his State of the Union speech on Thursday.
The record- single-day haul, first reported by NBC News, comes as the Biden-Harris campaign looks to ramp up funds going into the general election season after Super Tuesday.
Following Trump and Biden sweeps last week when 16 states went to the polls to vote in the primary election, it's almost locked up that 2024 will be a rematch between the current and former presidents.
Just two days after Super Tuesday, Biden, 81, made the short trip to Capitol Hill for his last State of the Union address of his first term in office before a joint session of Congress. While he received barely any recognition from Republican lawmakers, the Democratic side of the chamber was fired up.

The day following his remarks, 113,000 contributors pumped funds to Biden's campaign as part of 116,000 donations in a 24-hour period, according to a senior advisor.
This is a record for Biden's reelection, the campaign said.
To put the huge haul in perspective, Biden's campaign, affiliated committees and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) brought in $42million in the entire month of January to help fuel the president's reelection.
At the end of January, Biden's campaign had $56 million in the bank.
The early cash edge for the incumbent president is now being put to use. Biden's campaign launched on Saturday the first ad of a $30 million, six-week buy across swing states.
While Biden acknowledges his age in the ad, he leans into his message that his experience is what makes him a good president. This is similar to the message he spewed at his State of the Union, claiming his advanced age gives him the ability to 'get things done.'
Biden followed up his speech with a weekend campaign swing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Atlanta, Georgia – both swing states.

While Biden was in Atlanta, Trump held a dueling rally in Rome, Georgia on Saturday. The location was in Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's district and the pro-MAGA lawmaker appeared as a guest of the former president.
After Super Tuesday, Trump became the presumptive Republican presidential nominee especially after his remaining competitor, Nikki Haley, suspended her campaign on Wednesday.
The day after Trump won all but one of the Super Tuesday states, Biden's campaign brought in $1.5 million.
Rumors swirled that Trump was looking for a cash infusion from billionaire Elon Musk after the two met in Mar-a-Lago last weekend. But the Space X, Tesla and X CEO insisted in a post last week that he is not donating to either presidential candidate this cycle.
