All the Democratic candidates for the party's presidential nomination have finally reported the second quarter fundraising totals (see chart above). Only five candidates had healthy fundraising totals -- totals that will keep them in the race for quite a while. They are Pete Buttigieg ($24.9 million), Joe Biden ($22 million), Elizabeth Warren ($19.2 million), Bernie Sanders ($18 million), and Kamala Harris ($11.8 million).
Only one other candidate averaged at least a million dollars a month for the four month period -- Cory Booker ($4.5 million).
The rest are in a lot of trouble. Unless they can get on the debate stage and perform well enough to break through to the leading pack, they will soon have to abandon their presidential quest. They will have to quit, because they won't have the money to keep going.
The chart above is from The New York Times.
