Klobuchar pulls in nearly $5 million in third quarter

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) raised nearly $5 million for her presidential campaign over the past three months, her campaign said on Monday, an improvement from her second-quarter fundraising haul but one that falls short of most of her closest rivals.

Klobuchar raised $4.8 million in the third quarter of the year, with an average contribution size of $29.78, her campaign said. It’s not clear how much cash on hand the Minnesota Democrat will report to the Federal Election Commission when financial filings are due later this month.

The third-quarter total is an uptick from the less-than $3.9 million she raised between April 1 and June 30. But it’s still short of her $5.2 million fundraising haul in the first quarter of the year.

It also puts her behind some of her closest competitors in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) were among the top fundraisers of the quarter, bringing in $25.3 million and $24.6 million, respectively.
