Kirsten Gillibrand raises skimpy $2.3M in second quarter

[left-of-center2012]

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s presidential campaign raised an underwhelming $2.3 million in the second quarter, putting her squarely in the lower tier of the crowded Democratic field.

The upstate senator, whose campaign has failed to catch fire so far, raised less than her haul from the previous three months, a clear sign that her momentum has stalled.

Gillibrand was out-raised by fellow straggler Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), who raked in $3 million. Julian Castro raised $2.8 million, a total that grew significantly after his eye-catching performance in last month’s first Democratic debate.

Gillibrand did boast of $6.2 million cash on hand, a decent war chest for a candidate who has struggled to gain more than 1% or 2% in polls.

1. Gillibrand has the highest burn rate of all the Dem candidates

She spent something like 183% more than she brought in. It's not sustainable.

3. Gillibrand Probably Had a Sizable Sum from Her Senatorial Campaign That C/B Transferred.

I wonder if she has accepted that she'll never be the party's nominee, in 2020 or any other year.
