Andrew Yang Just Raised $10 Million in Three Months, His Biggest Haul Yet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — Andrew Yang, the tech-centric outsider Democrat running for president, raised more than $10 million in July, August, and September of this year, according to Yang’s campaign. The eight-figure haul is more than triple what he raised in second quarter of 2019. And it is by far his best quarterly fundraising total since he launched his campaign in 2017.

According to a campaign spokeswoman, Yang 2020 currently has more than 300,000 unique donors and has $6.3 million in cash on hand.

Yang’s presidential bid has taken many in the Democratic Party by surprise. An almost complete unknown in the political world, Yang started with few resources and a make-it-up-as-you-go campaign operation. But thanks to wildly popular appearances on long-form podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience and a wildly energetic online following known as the Yang Gang, the 44-year-old Yang has slowly but steadily climbed in 2020 early-state polling. The RealClearPolitics Democratic polling tracker ranks him sixth, ahead of multiple senators and members of Congress. He has qualified for all three Democratic debates so far and is on pace to make the stage for the rest of this year’s debates.

“Andrew Yang is the only contender showing exponential growth in the third quarter, more than tripling his fundraising number from last quarter,” Yang’s campaign manager, Zach Graumann, said in a statement announcing the $10 million figure. “This grassroots fundraising total, with over $6m in the bank, ensures this campaign will have the funding to compete and outperform expectations through Super Tuesday and beyond.”

2. A lot of support from individual donors. Very cool. nt

3. Maybe

I'm still waiting to see what third quarter figures are for Biden, Warren and Harris. I doubt that O'Rourke has raised much more than Booker. I do give kudos to Buttigieg for swiftly admitting that he didn't raise as much in the third quarter as he did in the second.

I'm frankly surprised that Sanders raised as much as he did.

4. Look like Biden and Warren are playing a cat and mouse game with eachother.

That makes me believe that both are sitting on mind-blowing donation numbers. I do believe Warren out-raised everyone, though.
