Of that $3.9 million, $2.7 million\u00a0comes from the Committed to America super PAC.<\/p>\n<p>Worse yet, Pence has failed to receive 40,000 individual donations, an important threshold because that\u2019s the number of contributions you need to make it to the Republican primary debate stage.<\/p>\n<p>The former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: 'Pipeline' to Obama Admin Seen as 'Currency'\">vice president<\/a>, despite having that title and qualification, is thus far underperforming.
