Beto O’Rourke Raised $6.1 Million in First 24 Hours of Presidential Campaign

WASHINGTON—Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke raised $6.1 million in the first 24 hours of his presidential campaign, the largest haul announced by any candidate at his or her launch so far this cycle.

Mr. O’Rourke’s burst of fundraising surpasses that of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who pulled in $5.9 million in the first day of his campaign, the largest announced first-day total prior to Mr. O’Rourke’s.

That’s quite a large sum for someone who appears to be a bit of whack-job

What were they thinking? Obviously not thinking!

Mad cow

Robert Francis O’ROURKE acknowledges his white privilege me too Rob, my white privilege of working many years paying taxes raising a family paying for those too lazy to work so they stay at home making more children for me and other privileged people of all races to pay for jerk

I guess his donors like to lose twice.

I'd bet some was leftover cash from his Senate run.

More like Beethoven O’Rourke with those wild hand movements in any case this do nothing Congressman’s only who’s claim to fame was marriage to an heiress and working as a nanny or manny is not what this country needs another empty suit who likes his balls buffed a real idiot

loooooool down the drain money this guy is a nut

Winning

That is a buck per hand movement

We will believe it when we see the check for $6 million.

Flash in the pan

I figure 6 Hollywood elite pitched in a million each 🤣

A lot of parents next month are going question those strange Venmo charges from their kids.

You can fool some of the people all of the time.....

I don't understand the attraction to this guy. So far the accomplishment I have heard about him is he drives around a lot.

Old News!

His hands really move a lot when he speaks!!

Fortunately, the ability to raise money is in no way correlated to the ability to win, or more importantly, the ability to govern. Americans want to hear how the candidates policies will improve their lives. DEMS policies will destroy our country.

Drunk driving hit and run.

Probs from his hacker friends

Who will win in 2020 is none of our business but Beto is one cool dude. I wonder his name is some kinda hacking nickname 😅

Robert. But please call me Beto. Sounds Latin you know...

Just great - all the $200 donors are giving the Trump tax savings they don't believe they got to O'Rourke so he can raise their taxes back up.

THIS IS TO ALL THE SO CALLED CHRISTIAN'S WHEN I DECLARED MYSELF AS A GOD'S CANDIDATE PICKED BY GOD TO PUT GOD BACK INTO GOVERNMENT AND JUSTICE AT THE FBI AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE NOT ONE THIN DIME HAS BEEN DONATED TO HELP ME SAVE LIFE'S. REALLY? CHRISTIAN'S GOD FEARING PEOPLE.

Really from his father in law or Robert O'Rourke or his Illegal campaign funds took along time before bragging about $6mil Hmmm

Seems like a good business model.

They like the way he thinks? Moves his hands? Or his mouth? Poor people do not have that kind of money? I get it ! Do you?

It’s great to have a billionaire father in-law!! 🙄

Beto is the white socks with white New Blance of Democratic candidates.

A man without a vision but on a mission!!

Was it from 'family' ie father in law?

Maybe people should find out and/or remember who Beto O'Rourke is. Did people know he was/is part of the infamous hacker group called 'Cult of the Dead Cow'? What should we make of it?

I'd like to see our electoral process be much more than money raised. Let's talk about the issues that affect our country. Let's cut out the hyperbole and find common ground between the parties. Let's pull it together before we fall apart.

Good luck! A juvenile, reckless skateboarder wants to wreck all Border Walls! 😂😂😂

Help us all

Wow is all I can say. What has he ever talked about that makes people want to vote for him?

A fool and their money....

This political season will be the best ever!! I'm still holding out hope for a quality third party member to influence the outcome. We might not be losing altitude, but at least we're gaining speed.

And -- I wonder why they did not cover this -- he pledged to take 70 cents of every dollar he gets over a total of $10m in contributions and redistribute it to every other candidate running for the office. An excellent idea! Isn't it?

And so what why do yall use money as an indicator of support

Buy your way to the Presidency....

But won't say where it came from!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gee... I wonder.🤔

Most from George?

His name is Robert

Beto has NO shot at being president 🤣

This dude is a bigger empty suit than BarackObama ever dreamed of being. It’ll be fun to watch him ride shotgun to JoeBiden when he announces his run.

Oh my that many liberals are cashing in ther food stamps and welfare checks to support him !!!

100k more than Bernie BFD

I gave

It was reported that it was grassroot donors, online contributions, no PAC's or corporate donors.

Wow more than Bernie and LOTS more than Kamala?

Every time someone runs for President we find al the money in the world. But if we need to pay taxes to get the basic of Government working?! We have no money.

Sure he did, He has corporate sponsors and that is why he is unelectable. Americans want real change, Bernie had far more contributions from far more people because he doesn't walk the corporate line.

Wife & Father-in-law are billionaires. They are his campaign. Beto doesn't have a shot. He would have a problem making dog officer in his community. No experience. No credibility. No integrity. Two major arrest & convictions. That's who the DEMs & media represent. JOKE!!!!

To be reckoned with

How much of that was from small donors and how much of it was from corporate PAC money? I notice that detail is locked behind a paywall, if covered at all. It’s easy to raise a lot of money when the Big Donors come out of the shadows. Color me unimpressed.

Ask Jeb Bush what his $130 Million did for him.

Thank the mainstream media for that. They've been pumping him up ever since he teased his declaration.

SteveKopack Just to be clear. The more bots and trolls respond to articles like this, the more they tip us all off that they are nervous. Whatcha scared of, bots?

Only confirms the old adage of fool and his money

I'd vote for anybody but Donald Trump

Don't know what's sadder: that Beto is running and thinks he can win or that this is the so-called 'best' that's drawn to the office of U.S. President in the 21st century. God have mercy on us all.

Didn’t RonPaul used to raise large buckets of donations on the internet too? How’d that work out?

Time for candidates to pay taxes on donations. I say we go with Bernie’s proposed 65% cap gains rate. Yo Beto, time to hand over 65% of that “hard earned” donation money.

You gotta get that pecan growing operation running somehows

But he hates Capitalism..

Disturbia in Beto camp. ‘Beto O’Rourke’s secret membership in America’s oldest hacking group’.

You misspelled Robert

Are YOU making a 'call to arms' for ALL your Republican friends

Did his rich father pay to get him into Columbia?

How many individual donors? 😂

The important thing is where the money is coming from 🤔

Wow, he'll have plenty of dough for ass waxing and ball scrubbing.

Sen. McCaine knowingly pushed a false document to the DOJ in the hopes of destroying the President of the United States who he hated. Is Trump supposed to lay silent? I think not!!

Wow! His Father in law wrote him a pretty big check !

Hes dirty he is involved in human trafficking.

Follow the money. Where is it coming from ?

Still not motivated we need a radical democratic candidate!!!!
