Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg raised $24.8 million from nearly 300,000 donors in the second quarter this year, more than doubling the number of individuals funding his White House bid, his campaign said on Monday.
In a statement, Buttigieg’s campaign said more than 294,000 people donated between April and June, giving $47.42 on average. More than 230,000 were new donors, it added.
