A CNN analysis finds that at least 40 top Obama bundlers donated to South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg's campaign during the second quarter, helping catapult him into the top tier of Democratic presidential hopefuls
Washington Former Vice President Joe Biden drew dozens of Barack Obama's fundraisers to his presidential bid during the April-to-June fundraising quarter, but his rivals -- led by South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg -- also are capturing some of those elite bundlers, a CNN analysis of new 2020 campaign filings shows.
At least 40 top fundraisers to Obama's 2012 reelection effort donated to Buttigieg's campaign during the three-month period, helping to catapult the once little-known mayor to the top financial tier. Buttigieg raised nearly $25 million during the second quarter, outpacing Biden and all his other competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination. In interviews this week, several Obama bundlers said the 37-year-old Buttigieg has energized a wide range of political donors.
