So much cash on hand!

Five candidates have over $10 million cash on hand, three of those have over ~$20 million.

Sanders.... $27.3 Million
Buttigieg... $22.7 Million
Warren..... $19.8 Million
Harris....... $13.3 Million
Biden....... $10.9 Million


"Totals from official FEC reports Data is current as of 07/15/2019"

All of these campaigns are investing heavily on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire. Looking at these numbers, I can't help but feel Pete Buttigieg is going to do very well in both states, despite being relatively quiet in the polls recently.

Has there ever been this many candidates with this much money competing in a primary before?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

5. Nod. Still, as a general guide, they seem flush with cash.
