Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy raised an impressive $7.4 million during the third quarter of 2023, according to his campaign.
The fundraising includes an in-kind contribution of $1 million made by Ramaswamy himself.
Ramaswamy now boasts over 130,000 unique donors, surpassing the required 70,000 donors for entry into the third debate.
According to his campaign, Ramaswamy received over 143,000 individual donations from more than 78,000 unique donors, with an average contribution of $38 over the past three months. This represents a 198% increase in funds raised and a 121% increase in the number of donations compared to the second quarter.
The campaign highlights that nearly 40% of the donors are first-time Republican contributors, while other candidates have only seen low single-digit averages.

During the fundraising period, Ramaswamy participated in the first two Republican debates, where he made a lasting impression on millions of voters and faced significant scrutiny from his GOP rivals.
Ramaswamy’s fundraising numbers are notable compared to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s $15 million raised and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s $11 million. However, their totals pale in comparison to the $45.5 million raised by former President Trump during the same period.
All four candidates have already met the polling and donor requirements set by the RNC for the third primary debate on November 8 in Miami. Ramaswamy’s campaign confirmed that he has exceeded the required 130,000 unique donors, nearly doubling the threshold.
