Sen. Elizabeth Warren has a new fundraising pitch: Joe Biden outraised her campaign’s first-quarter haul in one day.

“In the first 24 hours of his presidential campaign (welcome to the race!), Joe Biden raised $6.3 million. How does that compare to our campaign? Well just take it from this Politico reporter,” Warren said in a fundraising email with a screenshot from a Politico reporter’s tweet saying “That’s more than @ewarren raised in all of Q1.”

The Massachusetts Democrat’s campaign raised $6 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Biden’s campaign, which kicked off this week, announced the highest amount of money raised by any campaign in the first 24 hours after its announcement at $6.3 million, followed by former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who raised $6.1 million, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who raised just under $6 million.

Warren, however, attacked the way he did it.

“How did Joe Biden raise so much money in one day? Well, it helps that he hosted a swanky private fundraiser for wealthy donors at the home of the guy who runs Comcast’s lobbying shop,” Warren said in the fundraising email.

Warren then appealed for her “grassroots movement” to “chip in $3 or whatever you can right now to help close the gap.”

Michael Pratt, Warren’s finance director, left her campaign in March after Warren declared she would not reach out to wealthy donors to fund her primary run.
