Klobuchar deleayed pauing campaign workers in order to make her mandatory campaign finance reports appear better than they actually were. By putting off the payments, Klobuchar was able to put the best possible spin on her presidential campaign’s financial position during the previous three months. If those expenses had come a day earlier, Klobuchar’s cash on hand figure would have been roughly $6.35 million for the first quarter of 2019. Instead, the campaign was able to claim roughly $7 million in reserves—a sum that placed her among the better-positioned Democrats in the presidential race. The same accounting tricks continued in succeeding quarters.<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/2020-presidential-candidates-delayed-staff-payments-to-juice-cash-on-hand-numbers?ref=home</ref>
