Biden entered the campaign April 25, past the first campaign fundraising disclosure deadline and later than many rivals. Buttigieg’s campaign said the $24.8 million he raised during the second quarter came from more than 294,000 donors. The campaign said it now has $22.6 million cash on hand, a figure that will ensure Buttigieg can build robust operations in early nominating states.
