GWEN IFILL:

Fourth of July brought parades, patriotism and even a few fireworks to the campaign trail.

No better time, then, for Politics Monday, our weekly look at the state of the campaign.

Joining me tonight, Tamara Keith of NPR and Susan Page of USA Today.

Ladies, let's follow the money. Let's talk about what some of these candidates have said they have been raising. We see that in the three-month period that people have been measuring, Hillary Clinton says she's raised $45 million, Bernie Sanders in that same period of time, for someone who has not taken as being a real challenge to her on some levels, $15 million, Ted Cruz $14 million, and Ben Carson $8.3 million, which is also not chicken feed.

So, where is all this money coming from and from whom?
