LEADING THE DAY:

Former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenFormer Pence aide: White House staffers discussed Trump refusing to leave office Progressive group buys domain name of Trump's No. 1 Supreme Court pick Bloomberg rolls out M ad buy to boost Biden in Florida MORE released lackluster third-quarter fundraising numbers on Thursday, bringing in $15.2 million, which is far less than Sen. Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth WarrenOvernight Defense: Appeals court revives House lawsuit against military funding for border wall | Dems push for limits on transferring military gear to police | Lawmakers ask for IG probe into Pentagon's use of COVID-19 funds On The Money: Half of states deplete funds for Trump's 0 unemployment expansion | EU appealing ruling in Apple tax case | House Democrats include more aid for airlines in coronavirus package Warren, Khanna request IG investigation into Pentagon's use of coronavirus funds MORE (D-Mass.), Sen. Bernie Sanders Bernie SandersSirota reacts to report of harassment, doxing by Harris supporters Republicans not immune to the malady that hobbled Democrats The Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by Facebook - Republicans lawmakers rebuke Trump on election MORE (I-Vt.) or South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg Pete ButtigiegBillionaire who donated to Trump in 2016 donates to Biden The Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by Facebook - GOP closes ranks to fill SCOTUS vacancy by November Buttigieg stands in as Pence for Harris's debate practice MORE. It's also a decline of about $7 million from Biden's second-quarter haul.

The third-quarter fundraising totals are rolling in from the Democratic White House hopefuls, with Sanders leading the way with $25.3 million. Warren came in a close second with $24.6 million. Warren's strong fundraising comes as several national and state polls show the candidate rising in the crowded Democratic field.

Here's the list of those who have announced so far:

Bernie Sanders : $25.3 million

Elizabeth Warren: $24.6 million

Pete Buttigieg : $19.2 million

Joe Biden : $15.2 million

Kamala Harris : $11.6 million

Andrew Yang : $10 million

Cory Booker : $6 million

Marianne Williamson : $3 million

Michael Bennet : $2.1 million

One big name isn't on the list. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who has surpassed Biden in a handful of recent polls, has yet to announce her third-quarter total.

Of course, all of those numbers combined don't add up to the staggering total pulled in by President Trump Donald John TrumpFederal prosecutor speaks out, says Barr 'has brought shame' on Justice Dept. Former Pence aide: White House staffers discussed Trump refusing to leave office Progressive group buys domain name of Trump's No. 1 Supreme Court pick MORE and the Republican National Committee (RNC), who combined to raise more than $125 million in the third quarter .

That's back-to-back quarters now where the Trump campaign and RNC have surpassed the $100 million mark. If they keep up this pace, they'll have raised well over half-a-billion dollars before Democrats even nominate their candidate at the convention in Milwaukee in July.

The Trump campaign is already spending too, putting $10 million behind new ads pushing back on impeachment and accusing Biden of seeking to have a Ukrainian prosecutor fired to protect his son, Hunter Biden, who was on the board of directors for an energy company run by a Ukrainian oligarch.

The campaign announced Thursday that $1 million of that ad buy would be placed in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina with the aim of damaging Biden in the early-voting states.

Democrats are up in arms over the ads, saying that there is no evidence of wrongdoing on behalf of the Bidens, although the apparent conflict of interest has been a drag on Biden's campaign.

CNN is refusing to run the ad and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is pressuring Facebook to remove it.

FROM THE TRAIL:

Bernie Sanders underwent a heart procedure after suffering from chest pains on the campaign trail and has canceled his campaign appearances until he recovers. The Hill's Max Greenwood reports that doctors found a blocked artery and inserted two stents.

"Sen. Sanders is conversing and in good spirits," senior adviser Jeff Weaver said. "He will be resting up over the next few days. We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates."

Sanders plans to participate in the Oct. 15 debate in Ohio.

FROM CONGRESS:

Internal polling from the House Republican campaign arm finds narrow opposition to impeachment across the key districts that will determine the balance of power in the House in 2020, The Hill's Jonathan Easley reports .

But instead of seeking a rematch with Allred in his old Dallas-based district, Sessions has set his sights on Flores's district, which stretches from Waco in the north to the Austin suburbs in the south. Max Greenwood reports.

MONEY WATCH:

Presidential candidates aren't the only ones putting out their third-quarter fundraising hauls. A growing number of House and Senate candidates are following suit. Remember, candidates for federal office have until Oct. 15 to disclose their raising and spending numbers to the Federal Election Commission, and more candidates are sure to release fundraising totals in the days and weeks ahead.

Joaquin Castro Joaquin CastroDisinformation, QAnon efforts targeting Latino voters ramp up ahead of presidential election Pompeo accused of stumping for Trump ahead of election Florida Democrat asks FBI to investigate anti-Semitic, racist disinformation MORE is throwing his hat in the ring to play his identical twin brother and presidential candidate, Julián Castro, on "Saturday Night Live."

The congressman's offer came after Julián Castro's presidential campaign and Latino Victory noted the candidate's absence from an SNL skit last week that included host Woody Harrelson as former Vice President Joe Biden, regular cast member Kate McKinnon as Warren, and returning favorites Maya Rudolph as Harris and Larry David as Sanders.

Guess we'll have to tune in on Saturday to find out if NBC execs took Castro up on the offer.

In other campaign news, Sen. Elizabeth Warren's campaign staff sent dinner AND cookies to Sen. Bernie Sanders's campaign staff in Washington on Wednesday after news of Sanders's heart operation broke.

A senior communications adviser to Sanders first tweeted out the news, adding that dessert was the first course.

Warren, along with a number of other 2020 contenders, also sent Sanders her best wishes.

Bruce, Team Warren, and I are sending all our best wishes for a speedy recovery to @BernieSanders. I hope to see my friend back on the campaign trail very soon. — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) October 2, 2019
