Bachmann Raises "Unprecedented" $5.4 Million
The Huffington Post reports:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) will not close out her reelection bid empty-handed. The high-profile congresswoman will report raising a staggering $5.4 million during the last quarter, according to NBC affiliate KARE.
The Star Tribune calls the total "unprecedented," noting that the three-month haul is greater than any Minnesota congressional hopeful has ever raised in an entire election cycle. The total vastly exceeds the $3.5 million she took in while running for reelection in 2008.
Bachmann is not the only prominent Republican to boast an impressive fundraising effort in recent days. Sen. Harry Reid's challenger in Nevada, Sharron Angle, announced this week that she raised more than $14 million during the last quarter.
