One Bloomberg line item: $24,758.59 on catering for a rally in Miami, where the campaign served kosher pigs in a blanket, Cubanos, and wine.
How much does going first matter? Economically, a lot — the non-billionaire candidates were in Iowa far more often, and spent more than double the amount on food there than they did in New Hampshire, which votes just days after. The Sanders campaign spent a third of its food budget in the Hawkeye State, more than any other candidate.
Interestingly enough, spending in Nevada, the third state to participate in the Democratic primary, greatly outpaced that of New Hampshire, perhaps a concession among the candidates that one of the senators from a neighboring state — Sanders of Vermont or Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — would likely win the first-in-the-nation primary.
Meanwhile, Steyer has built a firewall in South Carolina, where his astronomical ad spending has propelled him into the double digits in polling. Seven of his eight most expensive line items are for catering in the Palmetto State. More fun facts:in South Carolina in January. This is almost double the total amount spent by all candidates in Iowa.of Bernie Sanders’s food budget went to Iowa restaurants in January, the highest of any candidate. He subsequently won the most votes.
