In the above chart, the first, blue number is how many days they waited after July 1, 2017 to announce their interest in running for President. The second number is how many days their exploratory committee operated for (0 means they did not have an exploratory committee), and the final number is how many days their official campaign ran. The above chart runs through November 2, 2019.

John Delaney began running for President in the 2020 election on July 27, 2017. Andrew Yang announced on November 6, 2017. All other candidates announced in 2019. As such, I am only going to look at the FEC filings for 2019. Delaney came into 2019 with $6,157,553 in his campaign, while Yang brought in $563,783. I am not taking Ojeda into consideration for this analysis because he dropped out so early in 2019. I am also not taking Joe Sestak into consideration… because I forgot to pull his FEC data until I had already done most of this write-up. I’m so sorry, Joe. I’ll include you in my next analysis.

Combining the FEC filings from Q1, Q2, and Q3 of 2019, this is the breakdown of all the candidates.
