Aside from a few TV hits and public events, Bill Weld isn’t putting up much of a fight against Trump
His campaign did not respond to a follow-up question over email about how much he's raised.
The uneven start of Weld's 2020 campaign is a far cry from the 1990s, when as popular, two-term Massachusetts governor he drew mention as a contender for the GOP nomination. Weld won reelection to his second term in deep blue Massachusetts with 71 percent of the vote in 1994. Since then, he has strayed far from the party line, deeming himself a "Libertarian for life" in 2016 when he was Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson's running mate. He's also been vocal in his support for Democrats: Weld endorsed President Barack Obama over the late Republican Sen. John McCain in 2008 and stopped just short of endorsing Democrat Hillary Clinton just before the 2016 election, saying he was "vouching" for her over Trump.
This time around, Weld said he rejoined the GOP because he's got his sights set on defeating Trump, andIn Domke's view, Weld may be waiting to see if a more credible challenger like Kasich or Hogan will jump in the race.
