Democrats are riding a massive surge of presidential campaign cash into 2020
, boosting the party’s hopes of taking back the White House.
“The idea that you’re within striking distance of an incumbent president — not considering the party fundraising — I think that’s pretty solid."They are up against a highly organized machine, including the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign, which has been up and running for more than a year to reelect Trump from its headquarters in Rosslyn, Va. Some Democrats have feared their nominee will never be able to catch up to Trump’s massive head start.
The candidates are using the cash to build armies of field staff and air television ads in Iowa, New Hampshire, and a slew of other states that will soon begin voting. In a memo sent to donors on Thursday, Biden campaign manager Greg Schultz said the campaign had spent $5.2 million on “our tech and digital infrastructure” alone since its April launch, which the campaign has used to work on its small-dollar fundraising and build up its reach on social media.
Adams predicted Buttigieg’s powerhouse fundraising will not be hurt in the coming weeks by his feud with Warren, who attacked him repeatedly in December for holding a fundraiser with rich donors in an elaborate wine cave. Sanders’ haul in the fourth quarter, which exceeded Biden and Buttigieg’s totals by about $10 million, elevated him even within the small group of other successful fundraisers in the 2020 field. Barring a late surprise, Sanders raised more money from donors than any other Democratic presidential candidate in 2019 — with an average donation of $18, illustrating the growing dominance of online contributors in political fundraising.
“Any [other] digital fundraiser would have probably gone in and said, ‘You’re crazy, you can’t do it this way. That’s the wrong way to go about it. This email is too long. You have to put the dollar figure right here,’” Shakir said. “But that whole email series was very successful.”
