| Subject: Pathetic Bill Weld is his own campaign’s top funder in longshot bid to beat Trump Mon Jul 15, 2019 10:47 pm | |
| Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, the only prominent Republican currently challenging President Donald Trump for the party’s nomination in 2020, won’t beat the president when it comes to fundraising. Weld raised nearly $700,000 during the second quarter of 2019, 64 percent of which came from large individual donors giving more than $200. He also lent his campaign $180,800. The plurality of itemized contributions, $142,600, came from Massachusetts. The campaign spent $575,000 during the quarter, the majority of which went to consulting. It also spent $16,500 to hire a Salem, N.H.-based media group to produce a commercial. Weld has focused his campaign around the Granite State on the basis that its geographic proximity to Massachusetts and primary rules — independents are allowed to vote in the Republican primary — might allow him to pull off an upset.
