*Democratic Primary 2nd Quarter Fundraising*

PollTroll I love you :O ! I just want you to know that

Thanks, R1!

Can you just make like one thread for this, asshole?

r3 The results are coming in at different times until July 15. Of course we'll have a separate thread as each of the Big Five announces theirs - fundraising tells us a lot where this race is and what it might look like in the future.

Also, you're quite rude.

[bold]2020 campaign second-quarter fundraising totals released[/bold]

[quote]The deadline: Monday is the last day for campaigns to file Federal Election Commission disclosure reports with full details of their fundraising. Candidates have until midnight to file their reports with the Federal Election Commission.

Cory Booker: $4.5 million

Amy Klobuchar: $3.87 million

Jay Inslee: $3 million

Julián Castro: $2.8 million

Andrew Yang: $2.8 million

Michael Bennet: $2.8 million

Kirsten Gillibrand, $2.3 million

Steve Bullock: $2 million

Marianne Williamson: $1.5 million

Seth Moulton: $1.2 million

John Hickenlooper: $1.1 million

Bill de Blasio: nearly $1.1 million

Tim Ryan: $876,000

John Delaney: $284,476 (Doesn’t include five loans, totaling $7.75 million that Delaney made to his campaign in May and June.)

Below the top 5, it's true, a fool and their money are soon farted.....

I just noticed Beto isn't on that list. What's he waiting for? Is it that bad?!

Less than 2 million should get no invite to the debate.

[quote]Small-dollar donors accounted for about 66% of Warren’s individual contributions, but she received high-dollar contributions from some famous names as well. Hollywood powerhouse Shonda Rhimes and actress Jane Fonda, most recently of Netflix's "Grace and Frankie" fame, each gave Warren $2,800, the filing shows.

So 44% is medium and big donor money, then? And btw, she's rolled $10 million of Martha Vineyard's money into the campaign back from her Senate run; just throwing that out there. I hope her supporters stop gloating and attacking other candidates over this now. I like her, but good intentions don't stand a chance against Trump's $100+ million onslaught (as of right now).

I just contributed to Pete’s campaign.

I want to do what I can for him.

His equanimity at vileness amazes me.

R8 He just now announced he raised 3.6 mil

[quote]So 44% is medium and big donor money, then?

No, 34% is.

[quote]Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who shattered fundraising records in his near-miss Senate campaign in 2018, raised just $3.6 million during the second fundraising quarter, his campaign announced Monday night.

[quote]The haul is just a fraction of the $9.4 million O’Rourke collected in the first 18 days of his presidential bid and comes as his standing in the polls has tumbled in recent weeks. O’Rourke ranked in third place in fundraising after the first three months of the year.

Ouch.

Waiting for Tulsi's report with bated breath...

R15: Who needs money when her family's cult will do the work for free? Luck for us, there's not enough to cover the entire country.

But did Beto announce it en Español?

[quote]equanimity at vileness

r11 You know Chasten is totally going to steal that as the official Buttigieg family motto, right?

Sorry, I just Love buttigieg, he’s smart and I love how he speaks.

Beto came behind Klobuchar. He's kinda finished, I think. I bet his campaign is betting everything on that second debate. If he doesn't shine there, it'll be over for him.

Where are Beto's numbers???

r21 In the quote at r14. The results are coming in right now, so the number couldn't be included in the list earlier.

[quote]BETO fundraising in the second quarter fell off a cliff. @BetoORourke campaign says he raised $3.6 million in Q2, roughly half what he raised in his first DAY in the race, or about a third of what he raised in 18-day first quarter. [@GarrettHaake]

Painful.

Wait for Harris's next "I was just a poor black child" T-shirts to come out... She should be selling flip-flops.

What's happened to that black mayor from Florida (I think?) who also announced he was running a couple of months ago? CNN has him in the preview image at r5's link.

Pete raised 10.5 million from donations which are less than 200$.

And reports come in that Trump raised 26 million in Q2 which is almost same as Pete's. OMG. This is insane

TULSI, TULSI, TULSI!

r27 Tulsi raised 1.6 million in Q2 almost same as Marianne

What does COH mean ??

It says Beto raised $3.64 million but then under COH it says $5.19 million.

r29 Cash on hand

Cash on hand = Q1 funds + Q2 funds - Q1 expenditure - Q2 expenditure

Pete has 23 million COH, Bernie has 27 million, Warren has 19.5 million

Make it happen!!!!!

Thanks R30. I understand now. Beto's campaign has 5 million dollars on hand as of right now. Interesting.

I imagine the fate of most candidates will become known after the second debate. For sure the top 5 will march through September. Then, the field might get trimmed to 4-3 candidates.

The latest calculations are that only about 7 candidates are likely to qualify for the September debate threshold.

That's not possible, poll troll.

Five people have already qualified. Beto just needs one more. He is certain to qualify. Booker just needs a few thousand donors. He met polling threshold already. Yang, Klobuchar need a few thousand donors and 2 more polls to qualify. There is still a lot of time for all of them to meet those thresholds.

I'd say at least nine will qualify

That was the analysis of the numbers by NBC this week.

It doesn't mean it will be *only* 7, but that it will be around 7 based on the current polling numbers:

[quote]Our new poll shows only 7 candidates hit bar for September debates

Beto should relaunch the relaunch.

[quote]I just noticed Beto isn't on that list. What's he waiting for? Is it that bad?!

He's such a drama queen. He's also running an inept campaign. He's also done. Adios, Betito!

Correction:

[quote]Infinity. Williamson: God's light

[quote]1. Buttigieg: $24.8M

[quote] etc.

This is what I've been waiting for - the California numbers.

[quote].@PeteButtigieg raised more from California than @KamalaHarris during the second quarter. Almost half of Harris' haul and more than a fourth of Buttigieg's came from CA donors (Only includes donors who gave >$200)

Interesting. We'll see if it holds up next quarter as well.

Mattresses Girls for Kirsten actually gave Gillibland $2.3mil? Better off flushing that scratch 'straight down the shitter' Her stance of only nominating liberal judges to the courts was a bold move. I thought she'd get a list from the Heritage Foundation.

Gillibrand has $8.2m cash on hand, so don't count her out just yet. She'll be around for a while.

R41, Gillibrand's fundraising is okay, but it's the polling numbers she has to worry about.

She's under 1% in some polls, and the DNC is using a combination of fundraising numbers and polling numbers to determine eligibility for the debate threshold. So while Gillibrand may have the money, she doesn't have the polling numbers she needs yet.

New fundraising totals for the past quarter show a Big Five solidifying among Democrats.

Same 5 that are at the top in the new CNN New Hampshire poll:

Biden, Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, and Harris.

[quote]Q2 presidential fundraising update: Trump leads 2020 presidential candidates in second quarter fundraising, Buttigieg logs most individual contributions

Dems...

Mayor Pete is the little engine that could!

[quote]John Delaney: $284,476 (Doesn’t include five loans, totaling $7.75 million that Delaney made to his campaign in May and June.)

I have listened to John Delaney. Seems like a good guy, smart, good ideas, plans, etc. However, he is at the bottom of the list regarding amount raised. He must be very wealthy, but these kinds of numbers plus loaning money to his campaign won't be sustainable.

Yeah, Delaney is self-funding his own campaign with a crazy amount of money. The only possible explanation here is that a gypsy fortune teller told him he'll definitely be the next president.

Or, you know, that he was hired by an entity to try and take down a particular candidate.

[bold]Scoop: John Delaney's staffers have asked him to drop out[/bold]

[quote]On July 9, John Delaney's senior team sat him down and told him to drop out of the presidential race by mid-August, according to three sources close to the campaign.

On the fundraising side, I believe eight candidates have achieved the goal: Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Sanders, Warren, O'Rourke, Castro, and Yang. On the polling side, it's 6: Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Sanders, Warren, and Booker.

Klobuchar and O'Rourke have achieved the polling minimum in three polls and each needs one more. Yang and Castro have met the requirement in one poll each. None of the others have met that requirement.

I can see Klobuchar, O'Rourke, and Booker hitting both the fundraising and polling numbers; I'm not sure any of the others will. So between 5 and 8 candidates will likely take the stage, absent any major changes in the next month and a half.

Here are the rules on the polling:

[quote] Candidates must receive 2% or more support in at least four national polls, or polls conducted in the early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and/or Nevada. [bold]Each poll submitted must be publicly released between June 28 and Aug. 28[/bold] and be must be sponsored by one or more of the following organizations approved by the DNC: The Associated Press, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, the Des Moines Register, Fox News, Monmouth University, NBC News, The New York Times, National Public Radio, Quinnipiac University, University of New Hampshire, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Washington Post, and Winthrop University.

[quote]Any candidate's four qualifying polls must be conducted by different organizations or -- if by the same organization -- must be in different geographical areas. And each poll must be publicly released between June 28 and Aug. 28, 2019.

r50 Based on that information, Klobuchar, Beto, and Booker will have to do something extra at the second debate, to ensure that bump in donations. Those three have the most to lose.

O'Rourke has the donations, R51; he's just short one poll.

Yes, I meant "a bump in donations and in the polls". Both are welcome, of course.

Beto has already qualified. He got 2% in the latest CNN new hampshire poll. Seriously how ignorant u buffoons are!

To be clear, six candidates have qualified for the third debate in September so far: Biden, Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, Harris, O'Rourke.

Any other lineup might be outdated news.

Is polling being defrauded to shore up marginal moderates and ostracize radicals? This journalist seems to think so:

[quote]Gonna go full truther here: I do not believe the candidates polling at 1% actually have 1% support. One in 100 Democratic voters prefers Michael Bennet over the whole field? Bullshit. No one can seriously believe this.

Top fundraiser in each state

Pete doing well in the Midwest (and in California).

Biden doing well in the South (and in Pennsylvania and parts of the Northeast).
