Williamson raised $920K in latest quarter
Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson raised just over $920,000 in the most recent quarter, according to a financial disclosure filed Saturday.
Williamson’s campaign also reported about $270,000 in unpaid debts and about $105,000 cash on hand.
The best-selling author’s latest fundraising stands in contrast to other Democratic presidential hopefuls.
President Biden, who is heavily favored to win the party’s nomination for a second term, raised $72 million in the second quarter. His campaign also said it had $77 million cash on hand, which it claimed was the most “amassed by a Democrat at any comparable point in history.”
The party’s third candidate hoping to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., raked in $6.3 million in the second quarter, including $3 million in the last three days of the quarter. Kennedy’s bid is still seen as a long shot, as many Democrats take issue with his previous statements on issues including on the Holocaust and COVID-19 vaccines.
On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump raked in more than $35 million during the second quarter, pulling ahead of his top competitors.
Williamson’s campaign has faced a series of challenges and multiple staff shake-ups, as she struggles to stay in the race. Early this month, her campaign confirmed another “restructuring.”
