WASHINGTON — Following Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Beto O'Rourke's debate Friday, O'Rourke's campaign is asking donors to raise $5 million before the end of the month.

"Obviously, this goal is very steep. It's steeper than any other goal we've set before," O'Rourke campaign manager Jody Casey wrote in a fundraising email.

If the campaign meets the lofty goal, it would be a clear signal that O'Rourke could be reporting huge fundraising numbers for the third quarter of the year. The cutoff for third-quarter fundraising is Sunday.

Politico recently reported that O'Rourke raised more than $9 million just online in August, based on federal filings.
