New Jersey President Cory Booker's presidential campaign announced Sunday that he raised more than $ 5 million in February and March, and more than $ 6.1 million in cash.

It was one of the smallest fundraising statistics ever voluntarily disclosed by a Democrat, about 10 months before the start of the primary poll.

Six candidates unveiled their totals: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said he raised $ 18.2 million; California Senator Kamala Harris has raised more than $ 12 million; former representative Beto O'Rourke raised $ 9.4 million; and Pete Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, raised $ 7 million.

Booker was ahead of newcomer Andrew Yang, who said he raised $ 1.7 million.

Booker's average online donation rose to $ 34, and 82% of Internet users had never donated to one of his campaigns before.

The senator announced the numbers in an email to his supporters.

Booker said Sunday that he felt "unbelievable" about fundraising.

"Money is important, but it's certainly not the barometer with which people will make their decision as to who will be the next president of the United States," said Booker. "And I'm glad we have the resources for this race."
