In his first 24 hours as a candidate for the presidency Beto O'Rourke raised $6.1 million. This puts him ahead of every other 2020 Democratic candidate including Bernie Sanders. On Monday his campaign accounted that they had received $6,136,763 The day after he announced his campaign. Even though not all the other have disclosed their donations, Beto is far in the lead. Beto has not mentioned the number of donors or how much he's raised since the first day. However, he did say that they had collected money from every state and territory in the union before none the day he made the announcement.
Beto announcing his run for the presidency comes in the wake of his defeat at the hands of Ted Cruz. The other democratic nominees will be battling it out and Beto is among their best options. A ridiculous amount of Democrats have announced that they will run for president and of the front runners, Beto currently has the most funding. Barack Obama also had a large amount of funding in his campaign.
