Tom Steyer raises more than $2 Million

Bloomberg

Democratic presidential candidate Tom Steyer raised more than $2 million from donors in the third quarter, his campaign said, but didn’t indicate how much of his own money the billionaire has put toward his presidential run.

The contributions are far less than Steyer spent in the third quarter, when he bought $16.5 million worth of broadcast and cable television time, data from Advertising Analytics shows. Candidates can give or loan their campaigns unlimited sums under federal election laws. President Donald Trump gave his campaign $66.1 million in his 2016 run.

The donations allowed Steyer to meet the fundraising requirements to appear at the Democratic debates in October and November. The campaign said it had 166,119 donors who gave an average of about $12. Steyer, who launched his campaign in July, will appear in the October and November debates.

The $2 million total places Steyer in the lower tier of candidates in third-quarter fundraising, behind author and political novice Marianne Williamson, who raised $3.1 million, and Montana Governor Steve Bullock, who raised $2.3 million. Bernie Sanders raised $25.3 million, the biggest third-quarter total. Candidates report their fundraising for the period to the Federal Election Commission on Oct. 15.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
