President Obama’s campaign on Saturday said they had received donations from more than 700,000 supporters during the week of the Democratic National Convention.

The president’s campaign announced the haul in a tweet from Obama’s account.

In an email sent late Friday night to supporters the campaign had said they had a goal of “600,000 grassroots donations in one week – and we blew right through it.”

Deputy campaign manager Julianna Smoot said the campaign hoped to collect 33,000 more donations to reach their new goal of 700,000 by midnight.
