See Which Presidential Candidates Received Most $$$ from Montco Residents in Q3

By

If the economy is your main concern this election, then Biden is the better choice, writes Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics in West Chester.

Wealthier donors in Montgomery County donated a total of $225,137 in the last quarter, giving the most money to former vice president Joe Biden at $73,516, writes Kennedy Rose for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

This is in line with the entire 18-county Greater Philadelphia region that highly favored Biden in contributions of at least $500 between July 1 and September 30 out of the top ten Democratic presidential candidates and President Donald Trump.

In Montgomery County, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar came second for contributions with $47,350, followed by New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker at $46,650.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is next with $13,033, with U.S. Senator Kamala Harris of California following with $12,000.

Meanwhile, Pete Buttigieg received $10,859 in donations and Trump received $8,235. Next, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont received $6,086 and Andrew Yang received $4,834.

Beto O’Rourke, who dropped out of the race last month, received $2,487.

Julián Castro received no donations in the third quarter.

Unlike the wealthier donors, small individual donors in the region did not favor Biden. He was outpaced in donations by Sanders, Warren, and Booker.
