Many of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have hauled in record sums of money in the first fundraising quarter of the 2020 election cycle, but none of them can hold a candle to President Donald Trump, who took in a whopping $30 million, according to the Washington Post.
The sum "far outpaces" any of the Democratic contenders, the WaPo reports, and dwarfs the candidate with the next highest fundraising totals, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who pulled in around $18 million.
Monday is the last day that Federal Election Commission reports, which should have been filed at the beginning of April, can be turned in for candidates who declared their intent to run for president in the first quarter of 2019.
Among the Democrats, Sanders easily leads the way, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) following far behind at $11 million, according to a CNN live feed of the FEC "reveals." Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), expected to be the next strongest fundraiser after Sanders, has not yet reported her earnings (she's expected to have earned around $12 million).
