The announcement comes amid reports that the progressive Massachusetts Democrat is struggling to raise money after shunning traditional sources of big dollar donations.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign said on Wednesday that it raised $6 million from 135,000 donors in the first quarter, a haul that falls behind those of her major rivals.The average donation was $28, Warren's campaign said. In total, the candidate received 213,000 donations. The campaign said that 99% of donations were $200 or less.
The campaign said that it had $11.2 million in cash on hand, and raised $1.4 million in the final week of the period, including 50,000 new donations. "Because Elizabeth's been able to count on grassroots donations, she's been able to spend her time visiting as many states as possible, meeting voters, and calling grassroots donors to personally thank them for giving," Lau wrote.In comparison to Warren, both Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, and former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke said they raised about $6 million in the first day of their campaigns.
