The Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), and similar groups generated more than $154 million in the fourth quarter in 2019—occurring as the House pushed to impeach President Donald Trump.
That’s according to Brad Parscale, President Trump’s reelection manager, who said that $463 million was raised for Trump, the RNC, and other groups in all of 2019. The RNC and his campaign, meanwhile, have $200 million on-hand cash to spend.
“President Trump’s campaign and the RNC are working hand-in-hand to re-elect the President and help Republican candidates up and down the ballot,” Parscale also said in a statement. “The President’s record of accomplishment has inspired unprecedented grassroots support which will translate to his own re-election and resounding victories for Republicans from coast to coast.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) led the Democratic presidential candidates in fourth-quarter fundraising, generating some $34.5 million. Former Vice President Joe Biden took home $22.7 million, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) campaign said she took in $21.2 million, which is lower than her prior total.
Meanwhile, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s campaign stated it received $24.7 million, and businessman Andrew Yang’s campaign said that he raised $16.5 million. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) also announced her fundraising numbers, saying she raised some $11.4 million over the past three months.
The Federal Elections Commission is slated to post the full campaign finance reports later in January.
