TEHRAN, Jul 16 -More than two dozen Democrats are vying for their party's nomination to challenge Republican President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Senator Cory Booker reported on Monday he raised $4.5 million in the three months ended June 30, the latest Democratic hopeful to detail his cash haul in the party's crowded presidential field.
Booker's haul, nearly a quarter of it raised in the four days after his strong appearance in the party's first debate last month, lagged those of other Democratic contenders, including front-runner Joe Biden and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who each raised more than $20 million.
US Senator Bernie Sanders raised $18 million in the second quarter.
US Senator Elizabeth Warren brought in $19 million and spent $11 million, according to the report her campaign filed on Monday to the Federal Election Commission.
Senator Amy Klobuchar raked in just under $4 million.
Senator Kamala Harris, who has traded places with Warren as voters' third and fourth choices in recent polling, said last week her campaign had raised $12 million.
By comparison, Trump and the Republican National Committee said they raised $108 million for Trump's re-election campaign.
Trump made the unprecedented move to file for re-election the day he took office on Jan. 20, 2017, allowing him to spend the past two years building his re-election operation.
Candidates are required under federal law to disclose their donors and campaign expenses. The latest reports cover the second quarter of the year, which ended on June 30.
