Nunes Supporters Are Not Constituents

$19,000

Fresno Bee: “Rep. Devin Nunes’ big role in the unfolding drama between Justice Department and the Trump administration has drawn national headlines — and allowed him to collect big money from D.C. area donors. But the California Republican is also being dogged by accusations he’s no longer focused on his constituents. … Of the more than $1 million Nunes raised from individual donors, roughly $19,000, or 2 percent, came from people in his district, which includes chunks of Fresno and Tulare Counties. That’s the smallest percentage of any the eight California Republicans in Congress who Democrats are targeting for defeat this fall.”

Nunes Rewarded for Partisan Antics

$2.25 million

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) “raised an extraordinary approximate sum of $2.25 million in six weeks as grassroots Republicans rewarded the House Intelligence Committee chairman for quarterbacking President Trump’s counterattack against allegations of collusion with Russia in 2016,” the Washington Examiner reports. “The haul should push Nunes’ midterm war chest past $5 million, with donations pouring in from a national fundraising program.”

Trump Already Raising Money for Re-Election

$13.2 million

President Trump’s reelection campaign “is off to a quick start, pulling in $13.2 million through a trio of committees in the first three months of the year, while paying an unusually large staff of about 20 employees,” Politico reports. “The FEC reports for the three Trump committees suggested that much of their fundraising bounty came from the sale of branded merchandise sold around Trump’s inauguration and early presidency.”

Trump Raised $90 Million in August

$90 million

Amount Donald Trump and his joint committees raised in August, a substantial haul for a candidate late to fundraising but one that still significantly trails Hillary Clinton’s enormous summer totals,” CNN reports. “A Trump campaign official said Wednesday the campaign had collected the $90 million despite its paltry fundraising operation. That total is expected to come largely from small-dollar donors, who have flocked to the Republican nominee thanks to his costly investment in digital fundraising tools.”

Surprise! Clinton has Raised More Money from Women than Trump Has

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.
