Bernie Sanders beat Beto O'Rourke in a key fundraising measure

Bernie Sanders beat Beto O'Rourke in a key fundraising measure
Washington (CNN)The monster $6.1 million haul that Beto O'Rourke touted in the first day of his presidential campaign included nearly $300,0000 that he can't use for the Democratic nomination fight. Julian Castro, already at the back of the fundraising pack, didn't actually raise a full $1.1 million for the primary. And Amy Klobuchar has more than $572,000 sitting in her campaign's bank account that she only can tap if she wins her party's nod.
[A CNN analysis of newly filed campaign-finance reports shows several Democratic candidates raised general-election funds -- available only if they capture the nomination -- alongside the money they can use in the primary battle.
Lumping in an extra $300,000 into his first-day haul allowed O'Rourke, for instance, to claim a larger first day windfall than rival Sanders, who reported raising $5.9 million in the first 24 hours of his presidential bid. But Sanders, who raised only primary money, has more cash available for the fight at hand, the new figures show.
O'Rourke's aides did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
