Warren fundraises off O'Rourke presidential announcement

Donate to Warren for POTUS through our DU ActBlue link here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforwarren

We only need three $3 donations to go over the $300 mark.

BY RACHEL FRAZIN - 03/14/19 04:54 PM EDT

Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) campaign team sent an email to supporters on Thursday asking them to donate to her presidential campaign after former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D) jumped into the race.

"We have another Democrat in the race today. (Welcome, Beto!)" the campaign email said. "More candidates means more people are going to take their time deciding who will get their full support."

"If you're with Elizabeth — the woman with the bold, fearless plans to tackle the root causes of the problems we're facing in America — today is the day you need to make your first donation," the email continued. "So if you want Elizabeth to build a campaign to compete in this race, you’ve got to be in this race with her."

Snip: Warren is not the only competitor fundraising from O'Rourke's campaign launch. Harris's team also emailed her supporters asking for donations Thursday.

enough for America to get a good look at them in the debates. Senator Warren is definitely among them.

Nothing against Beto, but he doesn't have a lot of experience and not yet for him. Also because he's not releasing fundraising #s yet, but he did very, very well before. If he really does turn out to capture big enthusiasm and become provably electable, we'll donate to him. We'll support any of our candidates who can win. (The 2 I despise and 1 dislike will not, so no conflict there.)

....the only candidate to do things like this. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris have fundraised "off" others entering the race, and Sanders has perfected it to an art form.

She is serious. She is smart. Love her anywhere in any ticket. A shoe in by no means but I think she’s the kind of person that can rise and rise to the moment. Yup. Im for Liz. On edit, I like The way she’s pissed off and out raged. It just seems real.
