US President Barack Obama speaks at a Democratic Party fundraiser in San Francisco.
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign and its Democratic allies raised a combined $29.1 million in January, accelerating their fundraising pace as the White House race draws closer.
In a statement released on Twitter, the Obama campaign said 98 percent of its donations were $250 or less, signaling strength from core, small-time donors that his re-election team prizes.
Obama and Democrats supporting him raised more than $68 million in the final three months of last year, pushing the shared fundraising by his campaign and the Democratic National Committee to over $200 million for 2011.
