9 numbers to know about the latest campaign finance filings in the presidential race

All presidential candidates and super PACs focused on the presidential race were required to file new campaign finance reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by midnight on Friday.

Even as the loss of a quorum prevents the agency from performing most of its duties, the FEC continues to make campaign finance reports available on its website, for the candidates who are currently running as well as those who have dropped out of the race.

Here are some of the key numbers to know, based on an Issue One analysis of the new reports, which covered money raised and spent by candidates and super PACs through Dec. 31, 2019. 

Small-dollar donors giving $200 or less have so far combined to give ~$340 MILLION to presidential candidates this election, including $85 MILLION to President Trump and $250 MILLION to Democratic White House hopefuls https://t.co/6jQWLsTAEM pic.twitter.com/YuwpXnH0Iw
