Elizabeth Warren nets $1 million in a single day

Elizabeth Warren raised more than $1 million in a single-day fundraising “money bomb” Thursday.
The event was timed to coincide with the official launch of Mass. Sen. Scott Brown’s reelection campaign and the anniversary of the 2010 special election that turned the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat over to Republican hands. Indeed, the Warren campaign hit the $1 million mark at around the same time that Brown was delivering his announcement speech in Worcester, Mass., Thursday evening.
Warren’s $1 million event came on the heels of an impressive $5.7 million fourth-quarter fundraising haul, and seems to confirm the growing consensus that she is a fundraising juggernaut. Warren previously notched a $3.15 million third-quarter total — an astonishing number given that she had only been in the race for six weeks.
As of 9 p.m. on Thursday, the campaign brought more $1,069,300. That number is expected to grow by the midnight deadline.
