Cory Booker’s campaign announced Tuesday that it raised $6 million in the third quarter of 2019, making this the best fundraising period yet for the New Jersey senator. The haul comes after his campaign implied last month that a fundraising shortfall would force Booker from the race.
On September 21, Booker’s campaign announced it needed to raise $1.7 million in the last ten days of the filing period in order to stay competitive and expand operations. At the time, Booker’s campaign manager, Addisu Demissie, told reporters that Booker would have no choice but to exit the race should they not reach their fundraising needs.
