Beto O'Rourke joked that to hit his fundraising goal, it might take a Facebook livestream and a kitten.

Beto O'Rourke was asked on Saturday at an event in Austin, Texas, if he'd stay in the race if he didn't meet the elevated qualifications to appear on the debate stage alongside fellow Democrats in November.

"You know, it's kind of raising the ante or the bar for how we compete for those dollars," O'Rourke said."I mean, I could maybe do a Facebook livestream with a kitten and, say, you know, 'Now, we don't want anything to happen to the kitten ... and so, you know, send your $5 or $10 or $15 in now. And, you know, Miss Whiskers is going to be fine.'""The federal election attorney's on the phone right now," Haake responded.

Campaigns are really upping the ante for End of Quarter fundraising. I could do a Facebook Live with a kitten and say,"We don't want anything to happen to Miss Whiskers so send your $5." I'm not gonna do that, but if you want to donate, here's a link: https://t.co/5Qz24HzZwN pic.twitter.com/otBcHuyTu9

Klobuchar said she should tie herself"to a railroad track and then record this video and say 'I won't move until I get all your donations,' in to a million dollars. But I'm not going to do that because I give it to you straight."
