WASHINGTON - As U.S. Democrats emphasize building their 2020 presidential campaigns on grassroots support, fewer than half amassed at least 50 percent of their early financial support from small-dollar donations, a Reuters analysis found.
And many candidates are still leaning on donors in their home states for larger checks. Nine Democratic candidates received the bulk of their contributions of $200 or more from their home states, the Reuters analysis found. The analysis includes fundraising reports covering the first three months of 2019 by the candidates who launched their campaigns prior to April 1. The field of candidates has since swelled, with 18 Democrats vying to win the party’s nomination to challenge President Donald Trump in November 2020.
Small-dollar donations can help catapult a candidate into the spotlight. Buttigieg until recently did not have a national profile, but raised $7 million during the first quarter of 2019 - of which 64 percent came from small donations. Warren - the only candidate to also swear off attending big ticket fundraisers - reported that about 70 percent of the $6 million she raised in the first quarter was from small-dollar donors. Massachusetts donors accounted for 25 percent of contributions over $200.
Donating money to Bernie is just practice. If he takes over he will take all our money.
From the same people they vilify.
This is a smear.
the Dems always love using money, none of them tell the Americans how to make a bunch of money to pay off US debt, so their 'dream' is full of baloney. 🤣🤣🤣
bernie isn't one of those candidates relying on big dollar donations so why is his picture here?
I thought they didn’t want any money from donors etc. What happened to that?
Sanders isn’t a Democrat.

I've learned that Americans NEED to be told who to hate & fear. Our Democracy is hanging on by a thread. It's extremely depressing knowing so many hate-filled, racist Americans want such an ugly country! The future looks frightening! Trump started his re-election campaign the day after he won the presidency. Can these these numbers be confirmed, outside of the Trump campaign? Asking for a skeptical friend.

The U.S. campaign against Huawei can offer no U.S.-based alternativesU.S. officials have pressured allies not to use networking gear from Chinese technology giant Huawei, and President Trump has urged American companies to “step up” and compete to provide the next generation of high-speed, low-lag wireless service known as 5G. There’s just one problem: No U.S. companies manufacture the technology’s most critical components. Which isn't a surprise.
