7%, ranked fifth in the poll, but in the last quarter, he was first in fund-raising around 25 million. biden around 21.5, warren around 19 and sanders around 18. harris was behind at $12 million. again, i know it s easy to get lost in the sauce in the horse race stuff pointlessly. it s too easy to put too much weight on any one or two metrics early on in the campaign. here s a thing that makes me particularly interested to be able to talk to har harris tonight. that we can see in the race right now, that is that the fact that if i put it in brought strokes, as i look at the numbers and as i look at the various horse race metrics, it looks to me like if she can capitalize on what she has going
that he s had, both coming out of the debate and in fundraising. and the first quarter fundraising numbers which we are still getting from some major candidates, his haul was remarkable. $24.8 million competing with 21.5 over the same period for joe biden. 19.1 from elizabeth warren, although no big dollars going to elizabeth warren, so that s a feat of low dollars. and 12 million from harris. is there a sense with buttigieg that if he can overcome this deficit that he s got with support from african-americans that that puts him into sort of a position to be competing with the frontrunners in this race? yeah. i think that s the question. why is it that there is this gap between the fact that buttigieg is by far at the moment the highest-raising candidate for the last quarter and the fact that his poll numbers are not reflecting that increase in support, particularly among the minority community but also overall. and i think that what the

hate they have on the trump administration on her. she handled herself very well, actually. ainsley: remember that meeting with nancy pelosi and all the democratic leaders were interrupting her when she was trying to explain all the numbers? pete: they don t want to hear the facts. i asked her that off camera how many folks are coming to actually watch what happens or see this training facility? very few unfortunately from the left. brian: kids with cages started with president obama. these are kids in facilities who come across the border and they can only stay there 20 days. ainsley: people sleeping if you missed the interview with the vice president we are going to show it again. pete: coming back in 8:00 hour more with the vice president in the woods near the training wall, yes. steve: happened in harr% ferry, pennsylvania. pete: thanks, guys. appreciate it 21.5 mention before the hour. jillian takes to us arkansas. jillian: let s go there for this story. arkansas and utah are one
