Former three-term Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke raised more than $6 million online in the first 24 hours following his announcement that he's running for president of the United States in 2020, outpacing his Democratic rivals, according to The New York Times.
O’Rourke’s campaign has announced that it will not accept any contributions from lobbyists, corporations or PACs, making the $6-million jump-start even more impressive. O'Rourke is promising to fund his campaign by fundraising and declining special interest money.
The Dallas Morning News reported that, should he win the Democratic nomination, O'Rourke would prefer to have a female running mate.
