Democrat Kamala Harris obliterated Republican Donald Trump in July fundraising, with her presidential campaign raising more than $204 million — more than four times her opponent's haul for the month, new federal records indicate.

Trump's presidential campaign committee raised about $47.5 million during July, according to documents filed late Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission.

Even by contemporary political standards, where general election presidential candidates are expected to raise tens of millions of dollars every month, Harris' total is extraordinarily large — fueled by a rush of interest and energy for her campaign following President Joe Biden's withdrawal on July 21. ...

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. brought in more than $10 million last year across various sources — from a health organization and law firm campaigning against vaccines to a right-wing college and a conservative book publisher — according to his latest public financial disclosure.

Kennedy, who is running for president as an independent, earned more than $400,000 each from conservative book publisher, Skyhorse Publishing, and JW Howard Attorneys, which litigated more than 40 cases against vaccine mandates, according to his public personal financial disclosure, which the Federal Election Commission released Monday afternoon and required of all presidential candidates.

Vivek Ramaswamy has been accused of being Donald Trump's plant in the 2024 GOP presidential race, but things have changed.

Trump has previously praised Ramaswamy, largely because the entrepreneur has consistently said positive things about the former president. Ramaswamy even went as far as to say he would drop himself from a state's ballot if that state didn't reinstate Trump.

Christie, the former New Jersey governor who is polling fifth nationally for the Republican nomination, quietly amended his public financial disclosure report on Dec. 1 to reveal he had received "free attendance" to New York Mets baseball games and that he earned nearly $750,000 in previously undisclosed speaking fees during 2022 and 2023 from a variety of special interest groups and corporate entities.

The U.S. Office of Government of Ethics (OGE) certified Christie's amended disclosure on Wednesday....

Listening to Hillary Clinton's concession speech after the New Hampshire primary was almost like listening to a female version of Bernie Sanders ranting about the injustice of campaign finance and income inequality. She never found those issues important enough to mention before, and even claimed that she doesn't believe money influences politicians.

Trump released his latest comically deceptive campaign ad, and as usual, all the mainstream cable outlets raced to be the first to air his fear-mongering garbage under the guise of relevant news analysis.
