Donald Trump is outpacing President Biden in Oregon presidential campaign contributions, a state he lost in 2020.
Why it matters: Campaign donations offer a general sense of a candidate's financial position.
Caveat: This accounting excludes small donors.
By the numbers: Trump has raised $958,412 thanks to more than 27,500 contributions from Oregonians who donated $200 or more in the election cycle, according to Federal Election Commission data as of March 11.
- Biden has picked up $855,093 from nearly 7,000 donations from Oregon during that same time.
Zoom out: Nationally, Biden leads with nearly $106 million compared to about $89 million for Trump.
What we're watching: Oregon is one of the last states to hold its presidential primary on May 21.
Editor's note: This story has been corrected to show the number of contributions worth $200 or more (not the number of contributors) from Oregon for both President Biden and former President Trump.
