WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Warren raised $6 million during her first quarter as a presidential candidate, her campaign reported Wednesday, less than some of her rivals but enough to quiet doubts about her ability to stay competitive in the chase for money.

The haul is the first sign of whether the Massachusetts senator’s unique approach to fundraising is working. Unlike most of her opponents, Warren has sworn off high-dollar fundraising, relying instead solely on small donors. She’s betting that such a move would free up time for grassroots outreach and allow her to campaign in line with her calls to dismantle the influence of moneyed interests.

It also lowered expectations for Warren’s fundraising prowess in the packed Democratic presidential primary.

Still, Warren is one of the most recognizable names in Democratic politics and she raised less than the $7 million reported by Pete Buttigieg, the rising star mayor of South Bend, Indiana. She raised half the $12 million reported by California Sen. Kamala Harris, another relative newcomer to the national political scene. Warren also fell short of former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s $9.1 million first-quarter haul and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ field-leading $18 million.
