Raising money isn't just a necessity for candidates hoping to make it through the long and expensive presidential primary process — it's a way to measure candidates' credibility and staying power in a crowded field.
Democrats are dealing with their largest primary pool in at least 40 years, and how they fare in raking in cash could separate the candidates in the pack. Here are the financial figures that the candidates, including President Trump, have reported to the Federal Election Commission, so far. The president's totals include money that other committees, such as the Republican National Committee and the Trump Victory Committee, have transferred to him.
These numbers reflect the total amount raised through the fourth quarter of 2019. This includes, among other sources, money raised from individual contributions and money transferred from other campaign accounts, such as a candidate's past Senate or House campaign:There are also more detailed fundraising metrics that give the public an idea about the priorities of the candidates and how they run their campaigns., for example, support from corporate political action committees.
Campaigns are also making a point of touting the amount they have raised from small donors . These donors, who don't have to disclose their names or information, can represent the measure of a candidate's grassroots support. That, of course, doesn't always translate to primary delegates — as Vermont Sen.
Ask Joe Biden how much money he needed to spend to win the Virginia primary — and that was against QUALIFIED candidates.
Rubles?
Paging Mike Bloomberg...
giving trump daily, hours long, free time to spew lies to the American public, he doesn't need to touch those millions.
Does Biden even know how much he has?
How does 38% of the population have four times the money to give of the other 62%?
You failed to mention that Bernie's fundraising is from the people and the top 3 are from the corrupting rot that is killing our democracy. Dunno.. But I think that's newsworthy.
Using your own money isn’t fundraising, it’s called buying
'They own you. They own everything. They long since paid for the courthouses, the judges, the Congress, and now they're coming for your Social Security money. It's a big club. And you ain't in it! You and I are NOT in the big club.' - George Carlin
Raised? 😂
This is not fundraising!!!!!!!
Advertising gets millions. Homeless get zip.
Can you really count the first two as fundraisers?
Warren-Sanders is the winning ticket!
Calling what Steyer and Blloomberg have done 'fundraising' is dubious at best.. do netter NPR
Do the math, Bloomberg is in the best position.
This is so misleading. Bloomberg and steyer have spent thier own money not fundraising
Is it considered “raising” money when you’re a billionaire and it’s all your money?
What a waste of $$$$$$$$
Yes, the big numbers of Bloomberg are insane, but it’s also strange that trump has only spent around half of what was raised... is he holding to see who the nominee is, or is it going to be kept, or ? 🤔
OMG, you keep posting this and we keep telling you that IT'S NOT FUNDRAISING.
How is it fund raising when it’s their own money? Did Bloomberg buy you as well?
Stop including Bloomberg and Steyer in the fundraising list. Spending lists - fine. But it's not fundraising when you are writing the check for yourself.
