Mayor Pete Buttigieg bests Warren, Booker and Klobuchar in first quarter fundraising by writerknowles
Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign raised more money in the first quarter of 2019 than better-known Democrats Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar, all U.S. senators.
Buttigieg still significantly trails Sen. Bernie Sanders, independent-Vt., who leads the field, having raised $18.2 million in the first quarter, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who raised $12 million and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, who raked in $9.4 million. But the fourth-place showing for someone who was virtually unknown outside his hometown a few months ago was notable.
“It certainly helps to have people who are excited about the historic quality of a possible candidacy, but we really have a broad range,” Buttigieg told NBC News. “They’re still crunching the numbers to understand some of the dimensions of all our support because it came, it seems, from every corner of the country and very different types of donors.”
