Bernie Sanders' $34.5 million haul leads Democrats' 4th quarter totals so far
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont raised more than $34.5 million for his White House bid during the final three months of 2019 -- a sign of his considerable financial strength a little more than a month before Democrats begin selecting their 2020 presidential nominee.
Sanders was the second candidate vying for the Democratic nomination to announce his fundraising numbers in the fourth quarter, a day after former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg announced raising $24.7 million.
The other Democrats who have emerged in the top tier, former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have not yet announced their totals for the last months of 2019.
President Donald Trump also announced on Thursday that he raised $46 million in the fourth quarter, outpacing the Democratic candidates' individual totals so far.
Trump campaign blows past 2020 Dems with latest fundraising haul, sitting on over $100M
President Trump’s campaign raked in a whopping $46 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, fueled in part by a backlash from his base against House Democrats’ impeachment efforts and blowing past any of his would-be Democratic rivals.
The incumbent now starts the election year sitting on a nearly $103 million war chest.
Trump's reelection campaign touted their fundraising efforts Thursday, noting that the fourth quarter marked the best fundraising quarter for the campaign in the 2020 cycle.
