President Biden leads presidential campaign contributions from large donors in California, followed by Donald Trump and Nikki Haley.
Zoom in: Despite facing declining support from California voters, Biden had raised more than $14.3 million from about 61,300 large donations as of Monday.
- Trump secured nearly $8.9 million from about 201,250 donations.
- Haley reported more than $4.4 million from almost 41,000 donations.
The big picture: Biden leads nationally with nearly $106 million, compared to about $89 million for Trump.
The fine print: The data doesn't include donations that are less than $200, so it's not a complete picture of total money raised.
- But the numbers provide a general sense of a candidate's financial position in California going into today's Super Tuesday primary election.
Zoom out: In total, Biden's re-election team has now amassed $130 million.
- Meanwhile, the Republican National Committee started the year with more than $8 million in cash on hand, and Trump's team is spending tens of millions on legal bills.
