As usual, @PinkLucy is on point.
Lets make note here, the typical Canadian election is 5 to 7 weeks in length.
We are currently 15 weeks out from the U.S. election date on Nov 5th, 2024.
The Dems haven't even held their convention yet, which would be the process for formally nominated a candidate.
So, Biden was never technically their candidate, even though he was the presumed candidate.
****
Lets also note, the Reps have a more than healthy war chest, one vastly larger than any Canadian party has ever had.
They have directly raised over 195M USD; and there's another 220M USD in outside groups that's spendable.
So 415M............to date.
For contrast, Canadian parties were limited to a maximum spend of 30M CAD in the last election. The Conservatives spent the most at 28.9M which would work out to ~21M USD.
The U.S is 9x the population of Canada
Even multiplying the Conservative number by 9 gives you less than what the Trump campaign has raised to date; and far less when outside groups are considered.
