Analysis: The problem with comparing Kamala Harris’s fundraising to that of her opponents
By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 2 at 4:09 PM Over the past couple of days, several 2020 presidential campaigns released preliminary fundraising numbers for the first quarter of the year.
Harris, who launched her campaign for the presidency in late January, raised $12 million in the first quarter. About half came from digital donations, according to her campaign. Buttigieg, who kicked off his exploratory committee around the same time, raised $7 million in the first quarter, according to his campaign.As CNN’s Chris Cillizza tweeted: “The $12 million for Harris makes Buttigieg’s $7 million look that much better.
But while Harris has held public office for longer and is in a much more high-profile position, she faces some challenges that Buttigieg does not. Kimberly Peeler-Allen, co-founder of Higher Heights, a political action committee that helps black women get elected to office, told The Fix that black women seeking office often have a harder time than white men in getting people to invest in their campaign.
