White House hopeful Ted Cruz says he's already received more than $1 million in donations since his Tuesday announcement that he would run for president.

The Republican lawmaker made the disclosure during a Tuesday evening interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly after she read aloud several not-so-rave reviews of his candidacy.

'If you want a quick indication of the support we're seeing - the incredible grassroots support - it's been 36 hours since we launched the campaign. In the first day, over 140,000 people have come to our website TedCruz.org,' the Texas senator said.

'In the first day we've raised over $1 million,' he continued. 'In one day.'

A Politico report from Tuesday that said the freshman senator had raised just $500,000 was using an outdated number, Cruz contended, and the amount of money his campaign has raised now tops $1 million.

Wonder if it is related to how long the Freepathons have been taking around here.

Didn’t he say his goal was to raise $30 million? Seems pretty doable.

Me too. As soon as payday rolls around I will be sending him another monthly contribution. I hope everyone who supports him will do the same.

Hillary already has 2 billion in the Clinton Global Initiative fund, from China, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, and any other country that despises women. Cruz has a long way to go

Don’t understand your comment at all.

Just typed “Ted Cruz campaign” in the Google search box, the first two links are to tedcruze.org.

(and yes I understand Google is a regime affiliate and these are paid links, likely by the Cruz campaign)

[dila813]

that changed then, because it didn’t work Monday or Tuesday
