My question is one of fact, not of candidates' worthiness.

Today on MSNBC Jonathan Capeheart asked why we aren't giving Stacey Abrams as much attention as we are Beto.

He went on to say that Abrams had raised more money than Beto had in their losing races.

I'm just wondering if that's true.

No one on the panel corrected him, so I assume they all agreed with his assertion.

Anyone know?

Thks.

That is the way I remembered it.

Wonder why nobody corrected Capeheart when he said it?

Maybe it's because she might not be running?

I hadn't heard that she is.
