总统候选人继续充实他们的金库距离2024年大选还有一年多他们2023年第三季度筹资的细节在周日申报截止日期之前浮出水面。
美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)和民主党全国委员会(Democratic National Committee)大获全胜，而前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在共和党初选中轻松领先。
拜登和民主党全国委员会
总统竞选团队表示，拜登和民主党全国委员会在第三季度筹集了7100万美元，因为民主党人将在2024年增加他们的战争资金。
拜登竞选团队说，这些团体及其联合筹款委员会在本季度结束时手头有9100万美元，比他们投入的资金多1400万美元。这笔钱来自近50万名捐赠者。
该运动还表示，97%的团体捐款来自小额捐款人，捐款少于200美元的人-与第二季度的比例相同。拜登竞选团队表示，平均捐款额为40美元。
拜登竞选经理朱莉·查韦斯·罗德里格斯(Julie Chavez Rodriguez)在一份声明中说:“这些数字证明了我们在竞选早期的核心目标之一:筹集必要的资源，开展一场将在2024年11月获胜的积极竞选活动。”
竞选团队周日宣布的7100万美元与他们在第二季度宣传的7200万美元持平。
拜登和民主党全国委员会筹集的资金总额与前总统巴拉克·奥巴马和民主党全国委员会在2011年同期筹集的7，150万美元持平，此前拜登第二季度的总资金比奥巴马少1，400万美元。(拜登4月25日宣布竞选连任;相比之下，奥巴马领先了三周，因为他在2011年4月4日宣布。)
拜登、第一夫人吉尔·拜登、副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯和第二先生道格·艾姆霍夫本季度都在全国各地举行了大额筹款活动。
由此产生的八位数捐款突显了拜登竞选团队向选民推销他的连任的能力——在一个时间当轮询继续显示时美国人已经对他在一系列问题上的领导产生了反感。

唐纳德·特朗普
据特朗普的竞选团队称，特朗普在今年第三季度筹集了4550万美元。
竞选团队表示，特朗普的团队进入10月时，银行存款超过3750万美元，其中近3600万美元指定用于拥挤的共和党初选。
特朗普竞选发言人张致恒说，从7月到9月筹集的4550万美元是特朗普总统竞选委员会和他领导的PAC Save America之间筹集的总额。
在过去的几个月里，特朗普的竞选团队一直在积极地从他的法庭斗争中筹集资金——他在四起案件中受到刑事指控，并拒不认罪——同时在每次起诉和出庭时发出数十封恳求电子邮件。
尽管有这些争议和前所未有的法律包袱，他仍然受到共和党选民的欢迎，他的捐款和民调显示。
8月下旬，特朗普竞选团队表示，在他在佐治亚州富尔顿县自首后，在不到一周的时间里筹集了超过940万美元的资金，他的面部照片是在与推翻2020年大选有关的起诉书中发布的。他否认所有不当行为。该运动称仅那个月就筹集了2000万美元。
第三季度筹集的4550万美元比第二季度增加了1000万美元，第二季度筹集的3500万美元是今年第一季度筹集总额的两倍。
罗恩·德桑蒂斯
佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯的竞选团队宣布，他在第三季度的竞选委员会、领导政治行动委员会和联合筹款委员会之间筹集了1500万美元。
这一收入少于他在第二季度带来的2000万美元，大约在他参加2024年共和党总统初选后六周。自那以后，虽然德桑蒂斯仍是该领域第二大最受欢迎的候选人，仅次于特朗普，但他在保守派选民中的支持度民调支持率一直在下滑而川普保持两位数的领先。
最重要的是，德桑蒂斯说，他上个季度筹集的1500万美元中，只有500万美元可以用于共和党提名竞争。其余的在大选前都是保密的。
“任何了解罗恩·德桑蒂斯的人都知道他是一名战士、胜利者和领导者，”德桑蒂斯的竞选经理詹姆斯·乌特迈尔说。
妮基·黑利
前南卡罗莱纳州州长妮基·黑利的竞选团队宣布，她“通过她的三个硬美元实体”筹集了超过1100万美元，加上她之前在第二季度筹集的720万美元，使她自发起以来的总收入达到2600万美元。
哈雷发言人奥利维亚·佩雷斯·库巴斯说:“我们已经看到了支持的大幅增加，并且有了真正的势头。”“尼基正在成为能够让美国摆脱过去和现在的混乱和戏剧的候选人，我们拥有我们需要的资源。”
在前两次共和党初选辩论后，哈利受到了极大的关注。
蒂姆·斯科特
南卡罗来纳州参议员蒂姆·斯科特(Tim Scott)的竞选团队表示，他在第三季度通过他的盟友筹集了592万美元，进入10月时，银行存款为1330万美元。
这使他手头的现金仅次于特朗普。但斯科特在第三节筹集的资金明显少于他的几个对手，包括特朗普、德桑蒂斯和哈利。
尽管如此，一位竞选发言人对美国广播公司新闻坚持说，“我们已经完全准备好，准备好通过早期的状态。”
迈克·彭斯
前副总统迈克·彭斯的竞选财务文件将被公开，届时他将报告相对疲弱的筹款数字。
彭斯将报告第三季度筹集了330万美元，手头有120万美元，但债务为62万美元。据该运动称，彭斯从他的个人资金中捐出了15万美元。
竞选活动没有透露彭斯的捐款人数，但彭斯周五在提交新罕布什尔州初选申请后表示，他“希望”在下一次共和党初选辩论中出场，而不是他过去的声明，他“期待”在那里。
“我们要讲述我们的故事。我们将努力工作，并随时向您汇报，”他告诉记者。
道格·伯根
北达科他州州长Doug Burgum报告说，今年第三季度筹集了340万美元。这个数字包括州长自己贷款的200万美元。他带着230万美元的现金进入年底。
这比Burgum之前的申报金额少得多，尽管他一直以来都是自筹资金。
克里斯·克里斯蒂
前新泽西州长克里斯·克里斯蒂的竞选团队周日报告称，最近一个季度筹集了370万美元的资金。自6月份发起竞选活动以来，克里斯蒂已经筹集了大约540万美元，他的竞选团队表示，截至第三季度，他手头有390万美元。
据报道，竞选团队从7月到9月花费了大约140万美元，截至9月底，没有任何债务或贷款。
根据竞选活动的最新筹款呼吁，它仍未达到克里斯蒂在共和党第三次辩论中所需的7万名捐款人的门槛。
Biden says he and Dems raised $71M, Trump leads GOP and more 3rd-quarter fundraising takeaways
Presidential candidates are continuing to fill their coffersmore than a year ahead of the 2024 election, with details of their third-quarter 2023 fundraising emerging ahead of Sunday's filing deadline.
President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee raked in a massive haul, while former President Donald Trump handily leads the GOP primary field in fundraising.
Biden and DNC
Biden and the DNC raised $71 million in the third quarter, the president's campaign said, as Democrats grow their war chest heading into 2024.
The groups, and their joint fundraising committees, finished the quarter with $91 million on hand, $14 million more than what they had going into it, the Biden campaign said. That sum came from nearly 500,000 donors.
The campaign also said that 97% of the groups' donations came from small-dollar donors, people giving less than $200 -- matching the same rate as in quarter two. The Biden campaign said the average donation was $40.
"These numbers are a testament to one of our core objectives early in this campaign: raise the resources needed to run an aggressive campaign that will win in November 2024," Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement.
The $71 million the campaign announced Sunday is on par with what they trumpeted in the second quarter, $72 million.
The total raised by Biden and the DNC matches the $71.5 million former President Barack Obama and the DNC hauled within the same period in 2011 after Biden's second-quarter total fell $14 million short of Obama's. (Biden announced his reelection campaign on April 25; in comparison, Obama had a three-week head start because he announced on April 4, 2011.)
Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff each held big-dollar fundraisers across the country this quarter.
The resulting eight-figure donation haul underlines the Biden campaign's ability to pitch his reelection to voters -- at a timewhen polling continues to showAmericans have soured on his leadership on a range of issues.
Donald Trump
Trump raised $45.5 million in the third quarter of this year, according to his campaign.
Trump's team entered October with more than $37.5 million in the bank and nearly $36 million of that designated for the crowded Republican primary contest, the campaign said.
The $45.5 million raised from July through September is the total raised between Trump's presidential campaign committee and his leadership PAC Save America, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said.
Over the last few months, the Trump campaign has been aggressively fundraising off of his court battles -- he is criminally charged in four cases and has pleaded not guilty -- while blasting out dozens of solicitation emails around each indictment and courtroom appearance.
Despite those controversies and unprecedented legal baggage, he remains popular with Republican voters, his donations and polling shows.
In late August, the Trump campaign said it raised more than $9.4 million in less than a week after his mug shot was released following his surrender in his Fulton County, Georgia, indictment related to the push to overturn the 2020 election. He denies all wrongdoing. The campaign said it raised $20 million that month alone.
The $45.5 million haul in the third quarter is up by $10 million from the second quarter, and the $35 million haul from the second quarter was double the total raised from the first quarter this year.
Ron DeSantis
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' campaign has announced he brought in $15 million during the third quarter fundraising period between his campaign committee, leadership political action committee and joint fundraising committee.
The haul was less than the $20 million he brought in during the second quarter, about six weeks after he jumped into the 2024 Republican presidential primary. Since then, while DeSantis remains the No. 2 most popular candidate in the field, behind Trump, his support among conservative votershas been sliding in pollsand Trump maintains a double-digit lead.
On top of that, only $5 million of the $15 million DeSantis said he raised last quarter can be used in the GOP nominating contest. The rest is bottled until the general election.
"Anyone that knows Ron DeSantis knows that he is a fighter, a winner, and a leader," said James Uthmeier, campaign manager for DeSantis.
Nikki Haley
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's campaign announced that she raised more than $11 million "across her three hard-dollar entities", adding to her previous haul of $7.2 million during the second quarter and bringing her total to $26 million since launching, per the campaign.
"We have seen a big surge in support and have real momentum," said Haley spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas. "Nikki is emerging as the candidate who can move America beyond the chaos and drama of the past and present, and we have the resources we need to do it."
Haley has enjoyed a surge of attention after the first two GOP primary debates.
Tim Scott
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott's campaign said he raised $5.92 million across his allied entities in the third quarter and entered October with $13.3 million in the bank, according to a spokesperson.
That puts him with the second-most cash on hand behind Trump. But Scott raised significantly less in the third quarter than several of his opponents, including Trump, DeSantis and Haley.
Still, a campaign spokesperson insisted to ABC News, "We are fully equipped and ready to go through the early states."
Mike Pence
Former Vice President Mike Pence is set to report relatively weak fundraising numbers when his campaign finance filing is due to be made public.
Pence will report having raised $3.3 million in the third quarter, with $1.2 million on hand but $620,000 in debt. Pence chipped in $150,000 from his personal funds, according to the campaign.
The campaign did not reveal Pence's donor count, but Pence said Friday after filing for New Hampshire's primary that he "hopes" to be on the next Republican primary debate stage -- instead of his past statements, that he "looks forward" to being there.
"We're gonna tell our story. We're going to work hard and we'll keep you posted," he told reporters.
Doug Burgum
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum reported raising $3.4 million in the third quarter of the year. The figure includes a $2 million loan the governor made himself. He heads into the end of the year with $2.3 million on hand.
This is significantly less money than Burgum's previous filing, though he has consistently been largely self-funded.
Chris Christie
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s campaign reported Sunday that it raked in a fundraising haul of $3.7 million in the most recent quarter. Christie has raised a total of roughly $5.4 million since launching his campaign in June and his campaign said he ended the third quarter with $3.9 million on hand.
The campaign reported spending roughly $1.4 million from July to September, and is free of any debt or loans as of the end of September.
Per the campaign’s latest fundraising appeals, it still has not hit the 70,000-donor threshold that Christie would need to make the third Republican debate stage.
