$63 million
Amount Hillary Clinton’s campaign raised in July, “its largest monthly haul yet,” the Washington Post reports.
53%
Percentage of campaign contributions Hillary Clinton has received in contributions of more than $200 from women, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows, while the comparable figure for Trump is 28 percent. The divide is nearly twice what it was in 2012, when President Barack Obama raised 44 percent of his funds from women versus former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s 28 percent. Clinton has raised $74 million from women who gave more than $200 — almost $10 million more than she’s raised from men in the same category. That’s far more than Trump, who has done little in the way of broad fundraising and has received just $688,640 from women giving more than $200.
$25.8 million
Amount Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign raised in April, “a notable decline from a month earlier, when he raised $44 million,” Politico reports. “The Sanders campaign reported the latest fundraising haul on Sunday, noting that it surpassed ‘the campaign’s average monthly total of $17 million.’”
$44 million
Bernie Sanders’s latest fundraising haul. “[It] was amassed as his path to the nomination narrowed substantially, leaving him with a daunting deficit in convention delegates. Such a feat amounts to defying political gravity, campaign-finance experts say: When candidates start losing primaries, as Mr. Sanders did during the first half of the month, the flow of donations typically slows significantly,” reports the Wall Street Journal. “But Mr. Sanders’s fundraising has continued apace, fueled largely by small-dollar online donors.”
$6.9 million
Amount Donald Trump put of his personal money into his presidential campaign in February, the Washington Post reports. “Since he began his White House bid last year, the billionaire real estate developer has lent or given his campaign nearly $25 million, according to Federal Election Commission reports. Although he maintains that he is self-funding the effort, his supporters have contributed $9.5 million, including $2 million in February.”
$407,000
Amount former Florida governor Jeb Bush loaned or gave his campaign as it struggled to pay its bills in the last weeks of his flagging presidential bid, the Washington Post reports. “New Federal Election Commission filings show that Bush’s campaign spent $3.6 million last month before he dropped out Feb. 20 — raising just $1.18 million in the same period. A large share of the money came from the candidate himself, who gave his campaign $56,983.50 on Feb. 1. The next day, he loaned the campaign $250,000. And on Feb. 16, four days before the South Carolina primary, he gave an additional $100,000.”
$58 million
Amount Ben Carson’s failed presidential campaign raised — more than any other GOP contender. “But Carson’s campaign burned through much more of that money on fundraising and consultants than on mass media advertising, on-the-ground employees and other things that could have swayed voters. … Ben Carson ran for president, and his consultants won,” the AP reports.
$2 million
Amount Ben Carson Inc. has raised since the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses, “a startling windfall for a campaign that finished a distant-fourth in Iowa and dead last among eight active contenders in New Hampshire,” Politico reports.
$21.4 million
Amount Hillary Clinton’s campaign has taken from donors at hedge funds, banks, insurance companies and other financial-services firms through the end of December — “a sign of her deep and lasting relationships with banking and investment titans.” That comes out to be more than one of every 10 dollars of the $157.8 million contributed to back her bid, the Washington Post reports.
$3 million
Amount Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign raised in the 24 hours following his narrow loss in the Iowa caucuses, the Washington Post reports. Most interesting: 40% of those donors had not given to Sanders previously.
