Sen. Amy Klobuchar raises nearly $3.9 million, keeping her competitive

Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar raised nearly $3.9 million for her presidential bid over the past three months, lagging far behind the leaders in the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination, but tallying enough cash to keep her on the campaign trail.

Klobuchar also announced that her campaign now has more than 100,000 “unique donors,” closing in on the 130,000 needed to qualify for the third Democratic debate in September. She has surpassed the 2% polling requirement in three of the four national or early state polls needed to get on the debate stage after this month, but has shown weakness in one recent South Carolina poll.

She also landed 7th in new New Hampshire primary poll, at 2.7%, good enough to edge out back-of-the-pack rivals Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Beto O’Rourke.

I really wish for many here to donate to her campaign, just to have her qualified for the Sept. debate.

I donated to both her campaign but also to Bullock because I think he should be in the debate. Clearly before the guru..
