South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is coming for Beto O'Rourke's donors.

A McClatchy analysis of Democratic fundraising on Tuesday showed that Buttigieg has taken in $340,000 from 460 former O'Rourke donors, with this accounting for one out of every 10 dollars he took in from those who gave more than $200. Buttigieg isn't the only one raking in the O'Rourke cash, though, with more than 1,300 former O'Rourke donors giving to other candidates, and with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) taking in $360,000 from nearly 400 of them.
