4President.orgIn Saturday memo, campaign warned it will not be able to build organization necessary to win without a change in fundraising trajectory by Sept. 30
Newark, NJ As of 9am ET this morning, Cory 2020 has raised $508,629 since alerting supporters in an urgent memo on Saturday morning that the campaign did not see a legitimate long-term path forward in the presidential race without a fundraising surge before September 30th. Saturday and Sunday marked the biggest online fundraising weekend of the campaign to-date.
Were lifted by the influx of support for Corys campaign for president -- even from individuals who havent made up their minds who to support in this race but who believe Corys voice is vital, said Cory 2020 Campaign Manager Addisu Demissie. We still have a long way to go over the next 8 days to reach our $1.7 million goal -- but the past two days have shown the power of people rallying together to take on tough challenges. Its the same spirit that will beat Donald Trump and change this country.
The campaign had raised over $470,000 as of day-end yesterday, but crossed the $500,000 threshold thanks to overnight and morning donations from supporters.
Totals as of 11:59pm ET on Sunday, September 22, 2019:
Percent toward goal: 27.7%
Total Raised: $470,961.54
Total Raised Online: $427,470.00
Total Donations: 12,896

(63,771 posts)Booker sees the handwriting on the wall for his campaign to be our Dem nominee. However, he sees a chance at the VP slot with Warren. So what does he bring to the ticket? He has good organizing skills in racially diverse communities, he's a good liberal within our party, and he is a person of color. And with this he is showing his ability to raise money.
If Warren gets our nod and she picks Booker as her running mate he is in a good place to run for President at the end of Warren's two terms.
I think this might be his plan.

(25,183 posts)Sen. Warren will need to balance out the ticket both in gender and racial makeup, and Booker might be a solid choice. Besides, he's one of the people who have been bringing Biden down, and Warren might feel grateful to him for that.
