However, it appears that many networks of prominent donors, including powerful women, are staying out of the presidential fundraising race for now.

Almost 100,000 women have given more than $200 to a presidential candidate so far during the 2020 presidential elections — nearly four times the number of women donors at this point in the 2016 elections. Who benefits has yet to be determined, but where women are putting their money provides insight.

Democratic presidential candidates have raised $41 million from women so far this presidential cycle while the Republicans have raised $12 million, based on an OpenSecrets analysis examining publicly available data from contributions for candidates who have raised more than $100,000 reported to the Federal Election Commission.

The second-quarter fundraising figures indicate that women, who are neither a monolithic voting base nor donor base, are spreading their money widely among the 2020 presidential candidates.

Which areas of the country is this money coming from? Hollyweirdo women?

I would hope the women of FR would open their wallets to donate to TRUMP, the RNC or a local GOP candidate. Otherwise our grandkids will be forbidden to speak English and will be required to speak Arabic or Spanish.

Yeah, it’s that simple.

Stupid poll.

How many women have joint accounts with their (male) husbands?

[unlearner]

These are not women. They’re womyn. Whole other species.

Big shot celebrity who donates the max amount to a Dem still has only the same number of votes as a woman who donates 5 bucks to Republicans. Regardless of voter fraud, I know. BTW, I don’t know if anyone has done a study to determine if an endorsement from a celebrity has influenced their vote. If for nothing else, the study would help to identify really stupid people who haven’t already made up their minds. Just like the ones who’s votes were influenced by Russian propaganda.

I’m working on my wife but I think as far as politics we’re just going to agree to disagree

She is no question of the most beautiful dedicated devoted thoughtful compassionate woman that I could ever imagine

and ! she loves me dearly -!

so politics really isn’t that important then with her

In fact for the most part I think in general we should avoid conflicts over nothing

Two hundred is not that big a deal. There could easily be 100,000 radicalized females to donate.

How do they know how many women contribute? Are they counting those people with a traditional female name? But nowadays you do not know if someone identifies as a woman just because she was born female; you can’t make assumptions based on names on a list of donors how many of them identify as women.
