The Sanders campaign took in $18 million in the second quarter of 2019. Buttigieg raised $24.8 million.
99.3% percent of Sanders’s donations were $100 or less, and the most common employer was Walmart, which is not surprising given that Sanders spoke on behalf of an employee at the company’s annual shareholder meeting last month. Buttigieg’s haul is the result of an expansive finance operation that combines grassroots fundraisers and high-dollar events.
“While other candidates court big money at fancy fundraisers, this campaign is supported by teachers, retail workers, and nurses who are putting what little money they have behind the one candidate who can bring about the transformative change this country needs,” said campaign manager Faiz Shakir in a statement. : The other candidates in the 2020 primary race may voluntarily release their fundraising numbers for the second quarter of the year over the next week.
