A first look at fundraising totals posted by the 16 Democratic presidential hopefuls who reported raising money in the first three months of the year shows that no clear frontrunner has yet emerged in the race. Their limited early hauls underscore the challenge the eventual nominee will face in taking on Trump.
The large Democratic field has been focusing heavily on trying to attract a wave of donations from people giving less than $200, partly because the Democratic National Committee will be counting each candidate’s overall number of donors to help determine who can participate in the first debate this summer. Small-dollar contributions also are considered a measure of grassroots support.
This graphic is clickbaity, but not overly useful. Democrats have multiple candidates and won’t be giving as enthusiastically until further into the race and/or when the field narrows.
Trump salted his with inaugural leftovers and fat cats licking backfat
Strange that you used the total amount raised by Trump and dollarsraised per day for the Democratic candidates.
Stop giving your own money to politicians. None of them deserve it
You kill our democracy the more you talk about campaign finance.
KEEP ASKING : Why did Supreme Court Justice Kennedy retire? What role did his son’s job at Deutsche Bank play? Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh’s $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?
Really sad that success of the campaign is decided based on how much money they can produce for it.
That’s all y’all care about.
Trump2020 landslide coming soon
Hey WaPo, for fucks sake, make the two tables have equivalent information. At the very least include and entry for the DNC and a rough aggregate of Dem fundraising committees. Even your preview graphic is misleading.
Ha! Lol!
The LIAR of course, as per usual in this Dark World of Deception and Fakes ..
That's really not a fair representation. If there was one Dem, it'd mop the floor with the horrid cheating, lying, corrupt Republicans.
Money doesn’t determine votes. 2016 proved that. Nevertheless, this would be a powerful indicator of relative support, especially if the graph had some indicator of average donation size. I think Trump = $200. It also deflates the notion that Trump base is a statistical fringe.
In 2016 The candidate with more 💰 lost to the candidate with less money 💵
Democrats should accept PAC money to get themselves elected and then use their votes to change our election laws to get PAC money out of our elections.
Who’s winning ? Well? Trump2020 of course.
Mister paper🤔🤓le toilette
We need to question who he’s donation coming from
Why do they need so much money for campaign? Wouldn't it be cheaper, easier & more effective to sit in their livingroom & w/help of social media talk about their ideas & how they would accomplish them?
Cuz that’s what’s it’s allllll about
Who has the most twitter followers
Of course. The people who got the massive tax cuts want to fund the man who'll give them an even bigger piece of the pie
Nice 'Democracy'. Is just smoke and mirrors.
The funny part is on how much President Trump was outspent by 'Crooked' Hillary in 2016 😂🤣
This just screams 'presidency for sale'. America should be run by the qualified (Republican or Democrat) not by the privileged & not by the popular.
The richest guy has the most money....
When the TheDemocrats nominee is picked Crowdpac will step it up
The RUSSIAN ASSET has the Russians with him. Or he is bullshitting like always. Let's see the bank statements?
Doesn't matter. What matters is who earns the most votes.
Which candidate not backed by super PACs?
In 2018 mid terms, money made little difference. Money is an intimidation but the people know what speaks louder. 'Money is the route of all evil'. Stop the money and the lobbyist have no reason to lobby. They can't be paid off from the Kock Brothers to the Soros.
Does 45 accept Super PAC funds?
It’s so upsetting that money is the best indicator of who will win. In the age of social media, candidates shouldn’t need money to the message out. I wish campaign money went to schools or the needy instead of annoying phone calls, commercials, & flyers. I’d support that message.
So you are stating that Trump will win because of the campaign money he has? If so, that make you a part of the perception problem!
We still need to investigate the corruption in Trump's inauguration money. The money from the Chinese disappeared in the thin air without records of donors! Trump is crooked, a fraud, a LIAR, and a TRAITOR! Money coming to him is DIRTY MONEY!
That's great...trump is a rich jerk who has more money then the rest...big deal...one thing he can't buy is a dinosaur..top that...trumpy lol
A good chunk of Trump2020 money is likely coming from Putin. After all, everything realDonaldTrump has done is to benefit Putin and his agenda. It's is a systematic demolition work against America and its institutions! Is Trump a Freemason?
does that equate to generating will of the people to vote for you.
Maybe focus less on money and more on policy because ya know... our system of political campaign finance is actually a major part of the problem.
Do we know that Donald Trump's campaign actually raised what it said it did? Or does he just feel that it raised that much money?
It's shameful that money plays such a big role in this.
Difference? Each one of those red squares represents something despicable Trump sold. Degreguation. Damage to the environment. Change in foreign policy. And on. And on.
Hillary raised more than Trump in 2016
Well that’s all his base... I’m gonna guess whomever wins primary will pull in a tad more $$
Which one took in the most money from Russian oligarchs and other foreign influencers? Yeah, Trump. Again.
Well when every Democrat and their mother is running, what do you expect?
trump by miles lol
