Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) revealed on Friday that his campaign raised $4.5 million during the third quarter of 2019, surpassing his haul for the previous quarter, but falling far short of his Democratic primary challengers.

O’Rourke updated his staff and supporters during a live-streamed meeting on the state of his campaign and emphasized the urgent need for a “breakthrough.” He also appeared optimistic about the “wonderful trajectory” of the campaign and its fundraising, and further noted that Nevada and Super Tuesday states like California and his home state of Texas will ultimately play in his favor.
