July 15 at midnight was the deadline for 2020 presidential candidates to upload their fundraising disclosures for the second quarter of 2019 to the Federal Election Commission.


Why it matters: These fundraising numbers are important for the Democratic candidates as they fight to secure their spots for the primary debates. All candidates have to submit their fundraising numbers to the Federal Elections Commission by July 15.
The big picture: President Trump and his committees raised $54 million, and the RNC raised another $51 million.
