Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised nearly $2 million over the final three months of last year, according to the star House freshman’s campaign.
Ocasio-Cortez’s sizable cash haul — $1.97 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 and over $5.3 million for the entire year — is one of the largest revealed so far among members of Congress, and the size of her fundraising base will likely stoke speculation about the New Yorker’s ambitions.
She is expected to report entering 2020 with $3 million cash on hand, according to her campaign, even though she is running for reelection in an overwhelmingly blue district. But POLITICO recently reported that whispers have already started about a presidential run for the 30-year-old, and there’s also talk of a potential Senate runin 2022 or 2024.

Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign said she raised an additional $85,000 for other Democrats during the fourth quarter, including presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, whom she has endorsed, and California Reps. Mike Levin and Katie Porter. The totals are subject to slight changes by the Jan. 31 reporting deadline, her campaign said.
