Former Vice President Joe Biden began 2020 with less cash on hand than his fellow top-tier Democratic presidential contenders, according to Federal Election Commission filings for the fourth quarter.
Biden ended the fourth quarter with $8.9 million cash on hand, the same amount he rounded out the third quarter with.
The amount is considerably less than the cash on hand of the three other top-polling candidates.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) rounded out the fourth quarter with $18.2 million cash on hand, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) ended the same period with around $13.7 million cash on hand. Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg's campaign had $14.5 million cash on hand at the end of 2019.
The latest FEC data comes just days before the Iowa caucuses on Monday, where a number of polls show Biden and Sanders neck and neck.
A Monmouth University poll released on Wednesday showed 23 percent of likely caucusgoers saying Biden is their first choice, while 21 percent said Sanders was their top pick.
Sanders's high spending numbers combined with his strong, four-year-old organization on the ground in Iowa could be cause for concern for the Biden campaign.

I have no idea how, but I got on a mailing list of sorts for Joe. I get texts from the campaign asking me for money. For some reason, they think my name is Sharon.
The texts seem to be getting more and more desperate and more and more frequent. They are clearly starving for cash. I enjoy the texts very much.
Please share a few...we all need a laugh
Wall Street knows Biden is very vulnerable and has pulled its funding.
I’ve been getting texts for “Eric” for CBD oil and erection pills.
How can anyone donate to Biden when Europe is awash with knowledge, and hopefully America will become aware, that he is about to be indicted in the Ukraine and possibly an international court??
I get the same thing from Yang. About 10 emails in the last 2 days. They’re desperate for sure.
Is this a ploy to weasel out of the Burma scandal?
Is this a ploy to weasel out of the Burisma scandal?
If a poll says Biden 23%, Sanders 21%, I’d expect Sanders to actually prevail when the real votes are counted. Biden’s support is paper-thin. He’s the default choice for Dems who aren’t excited about the other candidates. His problem is that his supporters aren’t excited about him either. Sanders’ supporters, on the other hand, are passionate about their elderly Marxist hack. They’re going to show up to vote. As of today, I think Bernie is the real frontrunner, and the Dem establishment is going to soon be scrambling to stop him.
Impossible to foresee. No one could have predicted another Biden earth rocket.
The man is so corrupt and insane, it's written all over his face, but oh that's just Joe being Joe. I would not buy a sink sponge from this man. All of these morons deserve each other.
Yesterday a reporter asked Plugs about why he’s in favor of Trump’s impeachment and removal which is totally partisan. (Exact opposite of what he said 1998 about The Rapist).
He just sat there literally looking like Frankenstein ‘s monster, didn’t respond for several seconds. Then he muttered, literally SOUNDING like Frankenstein: “ Because what he did is unconstitutional. Unconstitutional.”
Then he just sat there literally as if he had been tased or something.
There is something really really wrong with Plugs’ cognitive abilities. He belongs in a nursing home for sure.
I'm guessing that the Dems called for Bloomberg's help. I don't think he really wants to be President....but who the hell knows....since the Dems don't really have a decent candidate.
We should all give. I feel sorry for the guy. He then loses in November. It’s better for the left to go really crazy afterwards than now.
He should sell tickets to let roaches rub his leg hair.
Maybe he can get a loan from his son...
Hillary had the advantage of being a woman, and Obama had the advantage of being not completely white, so there were plenty idiots who were willing to vote for them based on those attributes. But poor old creepy and corrupt Uncle Joe has only his good ol’ boy image to rely on and he needs a Mayberry RFD refresher course to try and make that one fly with his leftist constituents.

I get a lot for plus sized bras. At least I know that if I become a cross dresser I have choices.
poor Quid Pro Joe!
