[Elderberry]

Biden still leads, Steyer is In, Warren, Sanders and Harris are all bunched up for second, Castro wants nothing to do with your germ-bearing meatbag spawn, and Williamson channels Neon Genesis Evangelion and raises Gravel’s campaign from the dead.

It’s your Democratic Presidential Clown Car Update!

Q2 Fundraising

Q2 numbers continue to trickle out. The Warren, Inslee and Ryan numbers are new


    Pete Buttigieg: $24.8 million
    Joe Biden: $21.5 million
    Elizabeth Warren: $19.1 million
    Bernie Sanders: $18 million (plus $6 million transferred from “other accounts”)
    Kamala Harris: $12 million
    Jay Inslee: $3 million
    Michael Bennet: $2.8 million
    Steve Bullock: $2 million
    Tim Ryan: $895,000

Warren did very well, edging Sanders, though below Buttigieg and Biden. Ryan’s numbers are, quite frankly, pathetic.

For sake of comparison, President Donald Trump raised $105 million for his reelection campaign.

Pundits, etc.
Democratic radicalism is going to reelect Trump:

    The president will be ­re-elected. Easily.
