2020 Dems sprint toward critical FEC deadline

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic presidential hopefuls are barreling toward a critical quarterly fundraising deadline on Sunday that will offer one of the clearest signs to date of viability in a sprawling primary field.

With more than 15 candidates seeking the party’s presidential nomination and grassroots fundraising being used as one of two factors in determining who will make it to the primary debates, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline is likely to carry even more weight this year.

“This determines who the real top tier is. This determines press coverage,” Jeff Roe, who managed Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) 2016 presidential bid, said. “This is going to be the separation line between contenders and pretenders.”

In emails and text messages to supporters, candidates have been pleading for last-minute donations in stark – at times even desperate – terms, casting the looming fundraising deadline as a make-or-break moment for their presidential ambitions.
