NEW: Cory Booker's campaign crosses halfway point to $1.7 million fundraising goal by blrshepherd
WASHINGTON — Just days after warning his campaign might not have a viable path forward, Cory Booker has crossed the halfway threshold to his $1.7 million fundraising goal, according to information exclusively obtained by Yahoo News.
“We have to grow this campaign well into Q4 and more importantly into Q1 and beyond,” campaign manager Addisu Demissie told Yahoo News. “It doesn’t stop at $1.7 [million], and it doesn’t stop on Sept. 30. We’ve got to keep moving forward, and I’m confident we’re going to get there now.” Former candidate New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced her donation to Booker via Twitter Saturday evening. Other political figures, many of whom have yet to dole out personal endorsements, followed suit, including the highly sought-after Stacey Abrams, Maryland gubernatorial candidate and progressive Ben Jealous, and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.
