No surprise here.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is leading his friend Marco Rubio in presidential campaign contributions after the latest (FEC) Federal Election Commission filing. Yes, Bush leads Rubio, but not by much.Bush raised $2.5 million more than Rubio, but Rubio has more cash on hand than his political mentor.
As far as expenses or disbursements go, both Rubio and Bush have spent about $3.1 million.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
The POLITICO put out this short analysis of the “Jebio” campaign money race. Notice how the two a virtually tied in amount of money raised in their home country of Miami-Dade.
Before you go on to read the numbers. Remember that Jeb Bush’s Super PAC support is well over $100 million strong.
TALE OF THE TAPE –Total contributions received: Jeb leads Marco $11.4 million to $8.9 million (note: this includes committee & individual contributions).
Total disbursed: The two are nearly tied at almost $3.1 million each.
Cash on Hand: Marco leads Jeb $9.9m to $8.4 million in campaign cash on hand (but only because Rubio had $4.1 million to begin the quarter).
TIED IN MIAMIÂ – Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the monetary tale of the tape: They’re virtually tied in individual donors in their home county of Miami-Dade, where Bush led by a total of $41.61 cents (that is: $558,405.95 for Bush to Rubio’s $558,364.34)
