Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Bernie Sanders' $34.5 million haul leads Democrats' 4th quarter totals so far
Bernie Sanders' $34.5 million haul leads Democrats' 4th quarter totals so far
https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/02/politics/bernie-sanders-fourth-quarter-fundraising/index.html
Washington (CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont raised more than $34.5 million for his White House bid during the final three months of 2019 -- a sign of his considerable financial strength a little more than a month before Democrats begin selecting their 2020 presidential nominee.
Sanders was the second candidate vying for the Democratic nomination to announce his fundraising numbers in the fourth quarter, a day after former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg announced raising $24.7 million. The other Democrats who have emerged in the top tier, former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have not yet announced their totals for the last months of 2019.
President Donald Trump also announced on Thursday that he raised $46 million in the fourth quarter, outpacing the Democratic candidates' individual totals so far.
Sanders' massive haul -- one of the largest quarterly totals of any Democratic candidate this election cycle -- brings the total he has collected to date in his second bid for the presidency to $96 million, and underscores the might of his small-dollar donor base. On Wednesday, Sanders' campaign announced that it had received more than 5 million individual contributions -- a milestone his aides said no other presidential contender had achieved at this point in a White House campaign.
