'Yes, Mark Zuckerberg, I’m looking at you!' Sen. Elizabeth Warren suggests breaking up giant corporate entities: “What we need is a president with the courage to enforce the anti-trust laws. Break 'em up!'
Presidential hopefuls in the increasingly narrow Democratic field began announcing fundraising totals for the third quarter of 2019 -- a key sign of whether they'll have the bank to last before the first ballots are cast in the early caucuses in February.
The Trump campaign, his joint fundraising entities and the Republican National Committee have raised $125 million in the third quarter and ended September with more than $156 million cash on hand, an RNC official told ABC News. Despite recent polling that showed his campaign trailing behind some of his 2020 Democratic rivals, the Vermont senator set the tone for third quarter fundraising Tuesday morning, announcing a whopping $25.3 million haul. The number eclipses Sen. Elizabeth Warren's combined total raised in the first two quarters and leaves Sanders with over $61.5 million in receipts this year.
Warren also has not closed in on Sanders’ strong donor base: in the last three months, he pulled in 1.4 million donations while Warren secured about 940,000 donations. The South Bend mayor also, who in recent polls lands among the middle tier, announced Tuesday morning that it raised $19.1 million in the third quarter with 182,000 new donors and average donation of $32, slipping from the top fundraiser title he had boasted in the second quarter when he raised $24.8 million.
The campaign also touted strong grassroots support in the third quarter, boasting that 98% of the donations of less than or equal to $200 came from grassroots donors. That was the case in the previous quarter as well, with 99% of the donations coming from small-dollar donors, but in dollar amounts less than 40% of the total $21.5 million haul from grassroots donations.
Businessman Andrew Yang's campaign announced Wednesday morning that it raised a whopping $10 million in the third quarter, more than triple the $2.8 million they raised in the previous quarter. Yang, who is polling in the bottom tier, had a particularly strong fundraising support in September, when the campaign set a last-minute fundraising goal similar to that of Booker's campaign and raised more than $2 million in the last week of the third quarter fundraising deadline.
Despite hanging their campaign's hopes on raking in $1.7 million 10 days before the deadline, Booker's campaign manager said their strategy moving forward is grounded in their belief that the race remains"wide open," as well as, efforts to hire 40 new staff members, open offices in early states, launch a ballot access program, build out their email list and kick-start another ambitious push to raise $3 million by the end of October.
