Amy Klobuchar raises over $2 million dollars after debate, campaign says

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar raised more than $2 million dollars in the 14 hours after her widely-praised performance during Friday night's debate, her campaign said Saturday.

It is Klobuchar's best fundraising haul following any debate to date. Klobuchar's campaign previously raised $1 million dollars in the 24 hours after the December Democratic debate in Los Angeles.

"With proven grassroots support, Amy continues to outperform expectations and punch above her weight," said Klobuchar campaign manager Justin Buoen. "Following her debate performance, we've raised $2 million and have seen an outpouring of donations from all 50 states which will allow us to compete in New Hampshire and beyond."

In the New Hampshire debate, Klobuchar landed punches on former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, hitting him on his comments that she said were dismissive of Washington experience.

1. Go Amy!

2. If not for the Iowa chaos, she'd be done. Really, though, she needed to win Iowa. Or at least...

...come in a close 2nd. The fiasco threw her something of a lifeline, but I don't see a path for Klobuchar.

4. What if her debate performance

actually does slingshot her this time? She won't win but if she somehow surpassed Warren and Biden in NH with, say, 18-22% of the vote, gets some delegates, raises some money, she has a chance (small) to take over the NotBernie lane in this race. I feel that's where we are now, Bernie vs. not, and if anyone could ever start to consolidate that lane there's still a path there.

5. That would be incredible. It's also about as likely as winning the lottery.

A single debate (on a Friday night no less) isn't likely to have that kind of an impact.

Klobuchar needed Iowa just as Warren needs New Hampshire. She surged but it wasn't nearly enough. I suspect she'll drop out after New Hampshire.

6. I don't think so.

As long as Amy has qualified for the debates, she has no reason to drop out.

And she has already qualified for the next one in NV. Then with Bloomberg on stage, we will see what happens.

7. Qualifying for a debate does not equate to having a path. See Yang. See Steyer.

8. Her path to be on the ticket may be small

But she has one. I’ll support her as long as she does.

3. Happily contributed to Amy after debate

I hope she can move the needle in New Hampshire.
