Ben Carson is on track to raise $10.5 million during his first quarter as a candidate, a senior adviser, tells Politico.
Carson senior adviser Mike Murray added that the Republican’s money raise included 210,000 contributions with an average gift of $50. “We obviously set some goals internally. We’ve exceeded those goals,” Murray said.
This has set somewhat of a target for Rand Paul, who has an edge in money raising given he starts off with the base of his father. Anything short of matching the Carson haul will be a disappointment for Rand followers and contributors.
If Rand is tracking better than Carson in the money race expect news out of the Rand camp soon, otherwise expect Rand to go money raise news silent.
