Biden and Buttigieg are co-hosting the former vice president's first 'grassroots' fundraiser during the coronavirus pandemic — bringing in $1 million for a campaign that initially struggled to attract small-dollar donations
During the presidential primary, Biden, even as he brought in significant cash from big-ticket fundraisers. Buttigieg, meanwhile, became a fundraising juggernaut from both high- and low-dollar donors, collecting more than $100 million before dropping out of the race in early March.
The former South Bend, Ind., mayor, who burst out of near obscurity to finish in the top two in both Iowa and New Hampshire, grew his campaign's email list from 24,000 to well over 1 million people. Buttigieg is exempt from vice presidential speculation, after Biden pledged to select a woman running mate. But he's maintained a national profile as a surrogate for Biden, hosting three high-dollar fundraisers and a digital organizing event earlier this month. He's also appeared in dozens of local news interviews in battleground states.Buttigieg also started his own PAC and affiliated nonprofit, Win the Era, which has endorsed a slate of down-ballot candidates.
