Sen. Cory Booker raised $6.6 million in the final quarter of 2019, his campaign announced, making that his best fundraising period of the Democratic presidential primary — but still placing him below his 2020 rivals
That total narrowly edges out his third quarter haul of $6 million. More than half of the fourth-quarter contributions to the New Jersey Democrat came from new donors, his campaign said, signaling growing interest in his candidacy. Still, Booker remains well behind the Democratic fundraising leaders heading into the final stretch before voting begins, with five candidates who announced bringing in eight-figure sums. The next-strongest fundraiser, Sen.
In a statement, Booker's campaign manager Addisu Demissie said he was"thrilled" that the campaign surpassed its past fundraising high water marks despite being excluded from the December debate stage"due to the artificial thresholds that prevented viable candidates from participating." Booker did not meet the Democratic National Committee's polling requirements for that debate.
