The Times today had a list of 16 Democratic presidential candidates, the money they raised, and what percent of that money came from donors giving $200 or less. The top seven, in order, are Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Beto O’Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Cory Booker.
There is a considerable range. Sanders has raised $18.2 million from donors; Booker $5 million. In the top seven, Elizabeth Warren has spent the most–$5.3 million. Sanders raised the most from donors giving
$200 or less–84%. Elizabeth Warren raised 70.3% of her funds from small donors, while Mayor Pete raised 64% from small donors.
John Delaney, who is a former Congress member from Maryland, has $10.6 million on hand, but he raised only $1.7 million from individual donors. He must be independently wealthy. He’s already spent $7.8 million, and I never heard of him.
