Former Vice President Mike Pence was among a handful of Republican presidential candidates who failed to make a splash with the announcement of his second-quarter fundraising total, bringing into question whether he will be able to participate in the first GOP debate next month.
Since launching a campaign for the White House on June 7, Pence raised only $1.2 million, according to his campaign.
Combined with the $2.6 million that was reportedly raised by Committed to America, a super PAC supporting Pence’s candidacy in the race, the former Indiana governor’s second-quarter total reaches approximately $3.8 million.
The total raised by the Republican presidential hopeful – who faces an uphill battle to serve as the nation’s commander in chief – puts Pence on the low end in fundraising, compared to his GOP challengers, sparking concern from Pence supporters.

Former President Donald Trump – who has dominated the Republican race for president thus far – hauled in more than $35 million during the April-June second quarter of 2023 fundraising, Trump’s campaign confirmed to Fox News last week. That’s nearly double the $18.8 million the Trump campaign brought in during the January-March first quarter of fundraising.
Second to Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has brought in an impressive $20 million in fundraising during the first six weeks of his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, his political team told Fox News last week. Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting the Florida governor’s presidential run, also told Fox News that it has hauled in $130 million in fundraising since the committee launched in early March.
