Beto O'Rourke said the $6.1 million he raised in the first 24 hours of his campaign came from more than 128,000 donors, for an average contribution of about $47
CLAREMONT, N.H. — Beto O’Rourke said Wednesday that the $6.1 million he raised in the first 24 hours of his campaign came from more than 128,000 donors, for an average contribution of about $47.
By contrast, the $6 million that Sen. Bernie Sanders in the first 24 hours of his campaign came from 220,000 donors, for an average of about $27.O’Rourke’s $6.1 million total, announced earlier this week, firmly established the Texas Democrat as a top-tier contender in the Democratic primary. But immediately after O’Rourke announced he had surpassed Sanders’ total, critics of the former Texas congressman began demanding that he demonstrate his contributions — like Sanders’ — came from a large number of small donors.
