Despite being simply a small city mayor and Democratic primary polls consistently showing him around five percent, he has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/2020-election\/president\/democratic-primary\/candidates\/fundraising-and-campaign-finance-tracker\/\">raised<\/a> more than every other Democratic candidate\u2014except for Sanders. This has been happening for several months and is unlikely to change in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the most concerning part for Democrats is the fact that neither former Vice President Joe Biden or Sen. Elizabeth Warren are atop of the fundraising chart. This could be due to Democrats simply expecting to defeat Trump, but if 2016 is any indication, that may not be a rewarding strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@imagefactory?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Colin Watts<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential candidates have received a total of $1.3 million in donations from San Diego residents.
