The best quarterly fundraising totals beyond Trump and DeSantis came from two longshots who threw in substantial shares of their own funds. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum put $10.2 million into his own campaign while bringing in $1.5 million in donations, while biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy added another $5 million of his own money this quarter while raising $2.3 million from donors.
After that, the cash drop off was sharp. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie brought in $1.7 million in the second quarter, while former Vice President Mike Pence brought in $1.1 million since launching his campaign in June.
Texas pastor and businessperson Ryan Binkley also added nearly $1.6 million of his own money to his under-the-radar campaign while raising a bit shy of $200,000.
A handful of longshot candidates had yet to crack the $1 million threshold through the end of June. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez brought in $945,000 through the first weeks of his campaign, while former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has been in the race since April, brought in $583,000.
Larry Elder, who was a strong fundraiser during his bid during the California recall election for governor, brought in just $468,000. Former Rep. Will Hurd raised $274,000, although that was done in a bit over a week as the former Texas representative announced his presidential bid in late June.
