Not only is it Tax Day, but Monday also is the deadline for presidential and congressional candidates to file reports with the Federal Election Commission, detailing their fundraising and spending during the first three months of the year.
This marks the first big test of fundraising strength for the already crowded field of men and women vying to take on President Donald Trump in the 2020 general election. Trump has an enormous head start on Democrats and is expected to report raising $30 million in the first quarter – a sum that rivals the combined haul of the two top-raising Democrats. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, making his second run for the Democratic presidential nomination, leads the pack. His campaign aides say he raised $18.2 million in the first 41 days of his campaign. He’s followed by California Sen. Kamala Harris, who reported raising $12 million.
We’ll provide the latest news here as the reports roll in. Candidates have until midnight to file reports and just like all you tax-filing procrastinators out there, they often wait until the final hours to deliver their electronic paperwork to election regulators, and by extension, to the public.
