Beto O'Rourke sets high-water mark for Dems with $6.1 million in 1st day of campaign

Former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke raised $6.1 million in the first 24 hours after announcing his presidential campaign, the most so far by any 2020 Democratic hopeful.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., last month raised $5.9 million in the first day following his announcement.

"Americans across this country came together to prove that it is possible to run a true grassroots campaign for president -- a campaign by all of us, for all of us, that answers not to the PACs, corporations and special interests but to the people," O'Rourke said in a statement released by his campaign Monday morning.

O'Rourke's first-day sum far outpaces other Democratic hopefuls seeking to unseat President Donald Trump.
