Andrew Yang raises $750,000 in 24 hours

The haul reflects the Yang campaign’s ability to attract funds via grassroots appeals

Aides said the fundraising will give the campaign resources to stay in the race after voters actually start voting. “We’re starting to show some movement in national polling, and I suspect a lot of the early states are going to reflect that investment as well,” Ryan said. “We’re going to continue to staff up, continue to [build] an operation that’s going to compete in Iowa and New Hampshire.”

The most immediate goal for Yang is making the December primary debate stage. Qualification for the debate, which is hosted by POLITICO and PBS NewsHour, closes on Dec. 12. Candidates need to hit 4 percent in four polls approved by the Democratic National Committee and have donations from 200,000 unique contributors.

Six candidates — Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — have qualified for the debate. But three more, including Yang, are on the precipice of qualifying, with a week and a half to go. Yang needs to hit 4 percent in one more poll, and his campaign said he has long surpassed the donor threshold .

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard crossed the donor threshold over the holiday weekend and also needs one more poll to qualify. Billionaire Tom Steyer has already hit the polling threshold and just needs additional donors, something campaign aides have told POLITICO they’re confident he will hit.; no candidate’s qualification is official until confirmed by the DNC after the qualification deadline has passed.
