Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has raked in over $5 million in the first quarter of 2017 while gearing up for her reelection bid in 2018.
Warren's campaign account has increased from $4.8 million to more than $9.2 million, after receiving over $5.2 million in campaign funds this year, according to CNS News. In comparison, Warren only received $1 million in the 4th quarter of 2016.
A major contributor to the funds was MoveOn.org, a liberal organization that raised over $250,000 for Warren. In addition, the senator herself started selling T-shirts bearing the slogan, "Nevertheless, She Persisted."
Warren, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, has seen a five-fold increase from last quarter. The Massachusetts senator's campaign released the fundraising totals on Wednesday.
"I'm deeply grateful that you're a part of this fight — and we're just getting started," Warren said in a statement responding to the campaign totals.
As of Wednesday, Warren only has one Republican challanger, Massachusetts state representative Geoff Diehl.
"The push to bulk up her campaign account comes amid recent polls suggesting support for her may be softening among some Bay State voters," CNS News reported.
