Democratic candidates' money hunt: Bernie Sanders out front

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Bernie Sanders, aided by a huge online presence, is out front in the race for campaign cash among Democratic presidential candidates, at least those who have disclosed their haul for the first quarter of 2019.

Sanders took in $18.2 million for the quarter, almost all of it raised online with some 525,000 people giving during the quarter. In the 2016 campaign, his ability to draw on-line donors was a wellspring of cash that made the competition salivate.

In second place, so far, is Sen. Kamala Harris of California at $12 million from 218,000 donations, listing an average donation at $28.

Harris has built an impressive online fundraising operation. She is, however, also courting the "Whales," wealthy donors and bundlers of contributions of a sort that fueled Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign. The nominee campaigned in the Hamptons and Martha's Vineyard, but didn't make it to Wisconsin.
