HANOVER, N.H. — Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota raised $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, her campaign announced on Friday, a sum that was more than twice what she collected during the prior three months but still left her no better than sixth in fund-raising for the last three months among Democrats running for president. Ms. Klobuchar’s fund-raising total comes after well-reviewed performances during the last three Democratic debates, but reveals the yawning gap in financial resources between the top candidates in the race and everyone else. Still, Ms. Klobuchar’s team sought to portray her fourth-quarter total as evidence of momentum for her campaign, which has increasingly focused on Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses. Late last month, Ms. Klobuchar completed her tour of all 99 Iowa counties, becoming the second Democratic presidential candidate to hold an event in each county after former Representative John Delaney of Maryland.
