Pete Buttigieg’s campaign jolted its top donors with big news on a conference call last month: The upstart mayor had raised $7 million in the month of April alone, as much as Buttigieg had in his entire eye-catching first quarter in the presidential race.
And the campaign has urged its donors to step on the gas on their own, outside of the candidate’s fundraisers, to help meet its lofty goals, encouraging contests among bundlers to bring in the most cash and reminding them that hefty fundraising was a key factor that legitimized Barack Obama in the early days of the 2008 presidential campaign.

"Last time, I'd say [his fundraising] put him in the bottom of the top tier — now I'd say he's firmly in it," said Connor Farrell, a veteran Democratic fundraiser, comparing the Buttigieg campaign's growth from the end of the first quarter to the end of the second fundraising quarter.
His core market have a lot of money. Most don't have kids to raise.
Yeah but from fucking Wall Street and shit
Hey Pete butt igieg go do a rally in deerborn
I think Pete is the dark horse we should all be keeping an eye on. He has a prodigious intellect combined with being totally comfortable in his own skin. In a debate, that combination could be very powerful.
Mayor Pete in 2024 or 2028. He's young
Trump gave him that money.
He’s not for universal healthcare so he’s not for me.
Why is his head so big?
7 million.. that’s it .. good luck mayor butt
Kennedyesque without the womanizing for a country starved for another JFK !
totally organic and grassroots movement building
Trump has already raised 89million and he hasn't even started campaigning ! ❤️ Trump 2020 ❤️
Proving the adage “A fool and his money are soon parted.”
WOW I AM REALLY HAPPY FOR ALL THE STARVING PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES!!!! GOOD FOR HIM BUT HOW IS THIS HELPING ANYONE AND DONT KNOW HIM SO IT WOULDNT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF PEOPLE DONT KNOW HIM?
Wonder where from?
I don't see anybody else staggering about that number here.
Because people see that he’s brilliant. And, good.
If he raises billions of dollars he still is a terrible candidate
realDonaldTrump Makes this net —like every two or three days

Well when you’re a corporate hack neoliberal war loving puppet, corporations tend to give you money. It’s not the people giving him any money. It’s the same machine that gave us that amazing Clinton Presidency - oh, wait. Yea. Never happened. Trump will destroy all neoliberals
lol
I don't think the country is ready for a gay president but the LGBTQ groups may think differently!
Staggering?

It will be interesting to see what scandals arise from that ?
Big money donors, not regular folks.
Unfortunately, money is still rooted deep into politics. We'll do what it takes to get rid of Trump in 2020. If we need money, so be it. It shall be done. donate PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 2020 It's time.
