Beto O'Rourke
Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) raised an incredible $6.1 million online within just 24 hours of announcing his 2020 presidential bid on March 14.
The 46-year-old Texas congressman’s contribution levels outpace those of his fellow Democratic presidential contenders, and put him on track to potentially become the party’s nominee.
In last year’s midterm elections, O’Rourke came up short but close in a Senate bid against incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and his popularity has appeared to only grow stronger ever since.
