Ben Cardin Has Essentially Stopped Raising Money

Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) “raised just $15,000 in the first fundraising quarter amid speculation that he might not run for re-election,” NBC News reports.

“While Cardin’s campaign still has money to spend if he runs, his fundraising haul is a paltry one for a senator up for re-election in 2024. His three-month financial total pales in comparison to Cardin’s fundraising at the same point in his last race: In the first quarter of 2017, Cardin’s campaign raised $325,000.”
