Booker raises over $6 million in third quarter

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) raised more than $6 million for his presidential bid in the third quarter of the year, his campaign said Tuesday.

Booker’s financial haul was bolstered by an eleventh-hour fundraising surge that came after his campaign warned that, unless it was able to raise $1.7 million in the final days of September, he would end his presidential bid.

Booker eventually surpassed that goal, his campaign said, bringing in more than $2.1 million in the last 10 days of the third quarter, which spanned July 1 through Sept. 30. All told, September was Booker’s strongest fundraising month to date.

“You can do the math: more than a third of what we raised this quarter came in the last ten days, the best fundraising stretch of our campaign,” Booker’s campaign manager Addisu Demissie said in a memo to supporters on Tuesday.
