Mr. Biden, who had planned to begin consolidating the party’s big donors behind his campaign just as the virus shut down much of the economy, has not yet released his first quarter fund-raising numbers. But a spokesman said he raised $33 million in the first half of March.

Over the past month, the Trump campaign has had to pull down big-dollar, in-person fund-raising events because of the coronavirus. But it has soldiered forward with its small-donor fund-raising gimmicks, hawking “Keep America Great” hats signed by the president and an Easter sale on merchandise in email solicitations that make little to no mention of the global pandemic.

Some national polls show that trust in Mr. Trump’s leadership through the current health and economic crisis is falling, even among groups that will be critical to his re-election chances, like older voters who supported him in 2016. But Brad Parscale, the Trump campaign manager, credited the crisis with the sustained financial support. “Americans can see President Trump leading this nation through a serious crisis and they are responding with their continued enthusiastic support for his re-election,” he said in a statement.

Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the R.N.C., said it was “clear that voters are responding to his bold leadership.”
