His campaign raised a staggering $24.5 million from July to September, which \u2062is twice as much as\u2064 any other \u2062GOP candidate. Trump also boasts a \u2064significant advantage in cash on hand, with nearly $38 million.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden, on the other hand,\u200b brought in nearly $25 million during\u2064 the \u200csame period.\u2063 However, his spending skyrocketed to almost $13 \u2064million, compared \u200cto just over $1 million in the\u2063 previous quarter. This spending spree coincided with\u200b a decline in Biden&#8217;s poll numbers, particularly on key issues like immigration, the economy,\u200b and crime. Nevertheless, Biden \u2064still finished the quarter with over $32\u200d million in cash on hand.<\/p>\n<p>Among the\u200d other GOP contenders, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis \u200cand former U.N. \u2064Ambassador Nikki Haley are vying for\u2063 second place. DeSantis raised\u2062 an impressive $15 million in the third quarter, but he \u2063may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irs-announces-688-billion-tax-gap-in-2021\/\" title=\"IRS reports 8B tax gap in 2021.\">face financial constraints<\/a> as\u2062 the primary elections \u200bdraw nearer.\u200c His campaign reported only $5 million available for the primaries, with \u200d$1 million in outstanding\u2063 debt. The remaining $12 million is \u200dearmarked\u2063 for the\u200d general election.<\/p>\n<p>Haley, on the other hand, raised $11 million in the past three months \u2063and currently has nearly\u200b $12 million in cash on hand. South Carolina \u2063Sen. Tim Scott reported the second-highest cash on hand, with about $13 million. However,\u2064 Scott also\u200c spent heavily in the third quarter, with expenses\u2064 exceeding $12 million. His political action \u200ccommittee, Trust in Mission PAC,\u200d even canceled $40 million \u200din fall ads due to his\u200b stagnant poll \u2064numbers. \u2062The PAC plans to \u2062resume spending as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-blocks-alabama-democrats-gerrymandered-map\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Blocks Alabama Democrats\u2019 Gerrymandered Map\">primary elections approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other notable figures in the race include entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has $4.2 million cash on hand,\u200b and former New Jersey Governor Chris \u200dChristie, who ended September with nearly $4 million. Vice President Mike Pence\u200b reported only\u200b $1.2 million in cash on hand and around $600,000 in unpaid \u2064debts.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, North Dakota&#8217;s wealthy governor, Doug Burgum, finished September with approximately $2.3 \u2064million in cash on hand. Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson&#8217;s campaign reported having about $325,000.<\/p>\n<p>In addition \u2062to \u200dTrump&#8217;s\u200b fundraising\u2063 lead, some of the \u2064Republican Party&#8217;s biggest donors\u200c are\u200b reportedly holding back their\u200d support until the former president shows vulnerability in the \u200bprimary. Top donors\u2062 like Paul Singer, Ken Griffin, Joe \u2063Ricketts, and Stephen Schwarzman are hesitant\u200b to back alternative candidates, as reported by \u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/elections\/trump-challengers-are-begging-for-money-big-donors-arent-giving-it-e2a3d380\">The Wall \u2063Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s becoming clear the\u2062 cavalry&#8217;s not coming,&#8221; \u2064said\u200c longtime GOP strategist Ken Spain.\u2063 &#8220;The donor community\u2064 has\u200c come to recognize \u200bthe strength\u2063 of Trump and the difficulty in dislodging a major part of the \u200dbase \u200dfrom him.

While\u200c this amount is lower than DeSantis&#8217;, Haley\u200d has consistently proven herself to be a strong fundraiser.\u2063 With a cash on\u2062 hand of nearly\u2063 $12 million, she remains a formidable \u200dcontender in the race.<\/p>\n<p>On \u2063the \u2064Democratic side,\u2064 Vice President Kamala Harris raised $8 million in the third quarter. Despite her strong fundraising efforts, Harris still lags behind Biden and the GOP \u200ccandidates in terms \u2064of money raised.\u2063 However,\u200c with a cash on hand of $16 million,\u200c she is in a better position than many other candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Other candidates on the Democratic side, such \u2062as Senators Bernie \u2064Sanders and\u2064 Elizabeth\u200c Warren, also \u200bhad \u200crespectable fundraising numbers. Sanders raised $7 million,\u2063 while Warren brought in $6 million. Both candidates have a considerable \u200bamount of \u200ccash on hand, with Sanders having $14 million and Warren sitting \u2064on $10 \u2063million.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important not to overlook the\u2064 role of super PACs in these presidential campaigns. These political action committees can raise unlimited amounts\u2063 of money to support a specific candidate, often \u2062pouring\u2063 significant resources into\u200c advertising \u200dand other campaign activities. Super PACs aligned with Trump, such as \u200dAmerica First Policy\u2062 Institute and \u200cSave \u200dAmerica, have \u2062already raised tens of millions of dollars. On the Democratic side, Priorities\u2064 USA and Unite the Country have also \u2062attracted\u2063 substantial funding.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, \u200cthe money\u2064 race in presidential campaigns is\u200c critical for candidates and can often determine their strategies and chances of success.\u2064 While Trump continues to dominate both in fundraising and the polls, Biden and other contenders are not far behind. As the primary elections draw closer and the field narrows, fundraising efforts will become even more crucial. With the potential entry of new\u2063 candidates and \u200dthe \u2062influence of\u2062 super\u200d PACs, it will be fascinating to see how\u200b the money race \u2064unfolds in the months\u2063 to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential campaigns disclosed financial reports, revealing fundraising progress.
