2020 presidential election: Track every candidate's Q1 fundraising totals
April 15 at midnight was the deadline for 2020 presidential candidates to upload their fundraising disclosures for the first quarter of 2019 to the Federal Election Commission.
Why it matters: Early fundraising totals are an indicator of candidates' capacity to power a national presidential campaign that rely largely on name recognition and enthusiasm. The number of individual donors each candidate reports will be viewed as especially important in this cycle's Democratic primary as a measure of grassroots support.
