(319,067 posts)ORourke spokesman Chris Evans said the $6.1 million came from individuals (ORourke does not accept money from political action committees) and did not include $4.5 million from the states Democratic party.
"Each and every single dollar of that came online from people, not from PACs, corporations, special interests or in the way described in this completely false tweet," Evans said in an emailed comment.
ORourke told reporters on Wednesday that his haul from the first 24 hours in the race came from 128,000 unique contributions which averaged $48 each.
Fundraising reports from the first quarter of the race are not due to the Federal Election Commission until April 15 and ORourkes campaign has not released a list of donors who contributed during his first day in the race.
