Excerpt:
A CNN analysis of newly filed campaign-finance reports shows several Democratic candidates raised general-election funds -- available only if they capture the nomination -- alongside the money they can use in the primary battle.
Lumping in an extra $300,000 into his first-day haul allowed O'Rourke, for instance, to claim a larger first day windfall than rival Sanders, who reported raising $5.9 million in the first 24 hours of his presidential bid. But Sanders, who raised only primary money, has more cash available for the fight at hand, the new figures show. O'Rourke's aides did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment.
In the 2020 election, a presidential candidate can raise up to maximum of $2,800 from an individual for the primary election. Money that supporters contribute above that amount is set aside for the general election.
