Warren’s campaign announced the haul early Thursday morning, saying it was its “best debate day of the entire campaign.”
We just had our best debate day of the entire campaign, raising more than $2.8 million.

The Massachusetts lawmaker’s debate performance appeared to have directly contributed to the fundraising spike, raising $425,000 in a 30-minute span during the event.

She later said the stop-and-frisk policing policy “targeted communities of color, it targeted black and brown men from the beginning.”
“And if you want to issue a real apology, then the apology has to start with the intent of the plan as it was put together and the willful ignorance, day by day by day, of admitting what was happening even as people protested in your own street,” Warren added.
It was not immediately clear if Warren’s fundraising boost from her debate would correlate with a rise in polling. Warren has seen her numbers slip since her third- and fourth-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire and she is looking for a bounce in Nevada’s caucuses Saturday, where polls show her trailing Sen.
