美国总统候选人杨安泽刚刚宣布他在2019年最后一个季度筹集了1650万美元，这笔资金预计将使他跻身民主党候选人前列。

他的竞选团队星期四（2020年1月2日）说，他累计有40万捐助者，捐款超过100万次。竞选活动说，他的平均捐款为30美元。总计1650万美元，这是杨安泽迄今为止最强劲的筹款季度。“无论在基层筹款，电视辩论，早期选举州的竞选活动，还是在吸引大批民众方面，杨安泽的每一步都超出了预期。”“迄今为止，我们通过这个人性至上的竞选活动取得了重大成就，我们有能力在早期初选州，超级星期二及以后的选举中进行强有力的竞争。”杨安泽没有说他手头有多少现金。他的前一个最佳季度在2019年第三季度，当时筹款总额略低于1000万美元。
他的团队还表示，他在除夕夜（目前最出色的筹款日）筹集了130万美元。他先前的单日记录是11月30日创下的75万美元。
杨的筹款活动比较靠前，仅落后于在全国或早期州的民意测验中领先的四位候选人：乔·拜登，皮特·布蒂吉格，伯尼·桑德斯和伊丽莎白·沃伦。桑德斯周四宣布，他在第四季度筹集了3450万美元，这是所有民主党候选人获得的季度最大筹款额。布蒂吉格周三宣布，他在总共筹集了2470万美元，他是第一位宣布筹集资金总额的候选人。拜登和沃伦都表示他们已经筹集了超过1650万美元，但尚未透露任何细节。图尔西·加巴德的发言人周三告诉POLITICO，她筹集了340万美元。桑德斯，布蒂吉格和加巴德都没有透露他们银行里有多少钱。与其他筹款领先的候选人不同，杨安泽还没有获得参加于1月14日举行的下一次民主党初选辩论的资格。根据POLITICO对民意调查和捐赠者数据的追踪，拜登，布蒂吉格，桑德斯，沃伦和艾米·克洛布查尔都已获得参加第七场辩论的资格。这个辩论将由CNN和Des
Moines
Register主办。资格窗口将于1月10日关闭。杨安泽轻松超过了22万5千个人捐赠者门槛，但没有达到民意调查的门槛：在民主党全国委员会（DNC）批准的四个民意调查中，达到5％；或者在两个早期州民意调查中，达到7％。面临错过电视辩论的危险，杨安泽公开呼吁DNC在2月份投票的四个州进行民意调查，即爱荷华州，新罕布什尔州，内华达州和南卡罗来纳州。民主党对此想法表示反对-
党委员会进行民意调查是非同寻常的-但是自11月中旬以来，在任何早期州都没有机构进行过民意调查。
英文报道：
Entrepreneur Andrew Yang announced he raised $16.5 million in the last quarter
of 2019, a total that’s expected to put him toward the upper half of the
Democratic field.
His campaign said Thursday he has a cumulative 400,000 donors, with more than
1 million contributions. The campaign said his average donation was $30. The
$16.5 million total marked Yang’s strongest fundraising quarter to date.”At
every turn in this race, Andrew Yang continues to exceed expectations whether
it’s in terms of grassroots fundraising, making the debates, early state
polling, or the ability to draw big crowds,” Nick Ryan, his campaign chief,
said in a statement. “What we have achieved together to date through the
humanity first values of this campaign, now sets us up to compete through the
early-state primaries, Super Tuesday, and beyond.”The Yang campaign did not
say how much cash it has on hand. His previous best quarter was just under $10
million during the third quarter of 2019.His team also said he raised $1.3
million on New Year’s Eve, the single best fundraising day of his campaign.
His previous single-day record was $750,000, set on Nov. 30.Yang’s fundraising
haul will likely be toward the top of the pack, trailing just the four
candidates who have led in polling either nationally or in the early states:
Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.Sanders
announced Thursday that he raised $34.5 million in the fourth quarter — the
largest haul of any quarter for any Democratic hopeful this cycle — and
Buttigieg announced he raised $24.7 million on Wednesday, the first candidate
to give a fundraising total. Both Biden and Warren have signaled they’ve
raised more than $16.5 million but have not yet released any details.A
spokesperson for Tulsi Gabbard told POLITICO on Wednesday that she raised $3.4
million.Sanders, Buttigieg and Gabbard did not say how much money they have in
the bank.Unlike the expected fundraising leaders, Yang has not yet qualified
for the next Democratic primary debate, which will be held on Jan. 14.Biden,
Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, and Amy Klobuchar have all qualified for the
seventh debate, according to POLITICO’s tracking of public polling and donor
data. The forum will be hosted by CNN and The Des Moines Register.The
qualification window closes Jan. 10. Yang has easily surpassed the 225,000
individual donor threshold but has not hit the polling threshold: 5 percent in
four polls approved by the Democratic National Committee or 7 percent in two
early state polls.Yang, in danger of missing the stage, has publicly called
for the DNC to sponsor polling in the four states set to vote in February:
Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. The party has balked at the
idea — it would be incredibly unusual for a party committee to sponsor a poll
for public consumption — but there has not been a public poll out of any of
the early states since mid-November. 资料来源：
