Warren relies on small donors to raise $24.6 million in third quarter
SAN DIEGO — Elizabeth Warren raised $24.6 million over the past three months, relying largely on a massive small donor operation to solidify her status as a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The White House hopefuls who have relied on frequent high-dollar fundraisers reported numbers that lag behind Sanders and Warren. Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday he raised $15.2 million during the third quarter. California Sen. Kamala Harris reported $11.6 million during the same period. Pete Buttigieg, who has combined small donors with traditional fundraisers, raised $19.1 million.
Both Warren and Sanders have consistently attracted armies of small donors, many of whom contribute online. Warren's campaign said its quarterly totals came from 509,000 donors offering 943,000 donations. Her campaign has $25.7 million cash on hand. Warren has argued that by shunning big-dollar fundraisers and large donations, she has had more time for things like staying hours after rallies to take"selfies" with thousands of attendees.
