Pete Buttigieg raised over $7 million during his first months on the trail, solidifying him as a candidate to watch for 2020
Pete Buttigieg’s Monday fundraising announcement carried an unmistakable message to his 2020 rivals: He’s here to stay.
Buttigieg is the first presidential candidate to offer a glimpse at his fundraising totals from the first quarter of 2019 — garnering significant cable news coverage all day Monday. Other candidates have already touted 24-hour totals after they launched their campaigns. Beto O’Rourke led the field with more than $6.1 million raised in a single day, followed closely by Sen. Bernie Sanders, who brought in just under $6 million.
Sanders and O’Rourke’s total first-quarter numbers will also likely dwarf Buttigieg’s. But the mayor is likely to surpass several senators and governors also running for the Democratic presidential nomination, which “is quite extraordinary for a mayor,” said Mark Longabaugh, a Democratic consultant who worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential bid.
