1/ Your @publicintegrity presidential political influence primer for tonight's debate. Let's start with @TomSteyer, a connoisseur of the super PAC publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer 2/ @TomSteyer is on the #DemDebate stage despite earlier this year saying he wasn't going to run and would instead spend his massive wealth beating up on @realDonaldTrump publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump 3/ @JoeBiden has been a fan of the traditional political fundraising playbook in the past, just as he largely has been now publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden 4/ @BernieSanders has been outspoken about what he considers the toxicity of big money and "dark money" in politics. But it's not quite that straightforward for Sanders. publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders 5/ @AndrewYang started raising money for his own presidential campaign before anyone else on stage publicintegrity.org/federal-politi… #DemDebate
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang 6/ @amyklobuchar is pretty good at raising money from ex-boyfriends publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar 7/ Remember when Ivanka and Jared raised money for @CoryBooker? No? publicintegrity.org/federal-politi… #DemDebate
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker 8/ One thing to talk about digital currency policy. It's another to invest in it — like @TulsiGabbard once did. publicintegrity.org/federal-politi… #DemDebate
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard 9/ @Ewarren was sitting on a ton of U.S. Senate campaign cash prior to running for president. She transferred much of it to her presidential campaign committee, something that's legal since it's all federal political money. publicintegrity.org/federal-politi… #DemDebate
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren 10/ While @Ewarren has made limiting big money and big fundraisers a cornerstone of her campaign, her campaign treasurer is an ultra-connected big-money Democratic fundraiser publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren 11/ @PeteButtigieg used to run a super PAC not long ago publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren @PeteButtigieg 12/ Lobbyists and special interests were instrumental in helping @PeteButtigieg win his first mayoral race publicintegrity.org/federal-politi… #DemDebate
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren @PeteButtigieg 13/ Harvey Weinstein once donated to @KamalaHarris' campaign committee. Harris divested of the contribution after Weinstein was accused of being a serial sexual abuser publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @KamalaHarris 14/ Many of the candidates on tonight's #DemDebate stage have been unwilling to voluntarily release information about their big-dollar campaign bundlers publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @KamalaHarris 15/ Meanwhile, why are Democratic candidates so enamored with small-dollar donations? @levinecarrie explains: publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @KamalaHarris @levinecarrie 16/ Finally, all the candidates at this #DemDebate use @ActBlue as a fundraising platform — a wildly successful one, at that. Republicans are racing to catch up. publicintegrity.org/federal-politi…
@publicintegrity @TomSteyer @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @BernieSanders @AndrewYang @amyklobuchar @CoryBooker @TulsiGabbard @ewarren @PeteButtigieg @KamalaHarris @levinecarrie @actblue 17/ (And finally, finally ... here are profiles of the personal and political finances of all presidential candidates, regardless of whether they're on the #DemDebate stage publicintegrity.org/topics/federal… )
