Biden's 'being eclipsed in fundraising by Buttigieg and by Bernie Sanders,' Tapper said.
After it was revealed that Senator Bernie Sanders and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg had raised more money than Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday, CNN host Jake Tapper questioned whether it's correct for Americans to still consider the moderate candidate the Democratic 2020 frontrunner.
Some of the remaining presidential candidates vying for the 2020 Democratic nomination opened their first days of 2020 by releasing their fundraising figures for the fourth quarter of 2019. Although Trump's reelection campaign outraised his top opponents with $46 million, some candidates came closer than expected to the president's figure.
Sanders topped his Democratic colleagues with $34.5 million raised in the final quarter—between October 1 and December 31. Somewhat unexpectedly, Buttigieg followed in second place after having raised $24.7 million. Biden came in third with $22.7 million., host Jake Tapper used the latest fundraising figures to doubt Biden's status as the 2020 frontrunner.
