The 2020 presidential election is more than a year away, but candidates are zig-zagging the country to line up support, both in terms of votes and contributions. Currently, Sen. Bernie Sanders is leading the Democrats in fundraising. And so far, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, former Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, California Rep. Eric Swalwell, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee have dropped out of the 2020 election race, despite raising amounts that range from $1.94 million (Moulton) to almost $14.9 million (Gillibrand).
Still, many candidates remain in the field, including President Donald Trump and one recent convert to the GOP who has also raised a pretty penny. Using fundraising data from the Federal Election Commission (accurate as of Aug. 21), GOBankingRates looked at all 18 of the remaining 2020 presidential candidates who have raised at least $1 million.

Money raised: $1,087,564.24
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s fundraising tactics compelled a campaign-finance watchdog group called the Campaign Legal Center to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission. The group, which calls de Blasio’s fundraising for the 2020 presidential election a “shell game,” alleges that the campaign and two affiliated political action committees (PACs) enabled wealthy donors to give more than the law allows by shuffling money between the PACs and the de Blasio campaign.

Bottom line: Trump has almost raised more than all the others combined.
3 times more than the 2nd place, Bernie Sanders.
Money down the crapper.
We’ll need it
Seth Moulton??? Whose that?
Massachusetts Congressman since 2014. His big thing was being a combat veteran and winning his seat by taking out an incumbent Democrat in the primary. Moulton wasn’t in any of the debates and has already suspended his campaign. Politicians “suspend” their campaigns when they realize that they have no chance of winning, because suspended campaigns can get some federal funds to pay off their debts.
I almost got sick of winning.
THhen I saw Bernie and AOC on CNN at the airport.
What matters is how much money these nobodies raise in advertising for the networks.
Hope the networks are losing money on this fake show...

Good news is that much of their money will to towards primaries...Trump won’t have to spend his until general election.
Huh? I used the ‘almost’ operator...!
