WASHINGTON
Sanders campaign collected $18.2 million from 525,000 donors most of them under age 39 in the first quarter of 2019, campaign officials said. The intimidating show of financial force will likely position Sanders to compete aggressively in every key state, giving him more resources than most of his rivals.

(28,270 posts)No bundled money either. Many small donations indicate a large base of regular voters!
Looks good for Bernie.

(145,321 posts)Most people were told to expect that sanders would raise more than $20 million given that he had raised over $10 million in his first week https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/trump-turns-2020-election-referendum-health-care-n989926
sanders also felled short of the 1 million contributions he promised.

(32,712 posts)Russia really put a lot of effort into him last cycle. Are they doing the same this cycle? Is there a way to verify the identity of these small donors?

On a democratic party board of all places as well.
That's just sad and a terrible commentary on American democracy in 2019.

George II
(67,782 posts)He had $5,455,167.90 remaining in his 2016 presidential campaign treasury.
He had $9,094,921.30 remaining in his 2018 senate campaign treasury.
That's a total of $14,550,089.20. We need to see the actual FEC report to see how much, if any, was applied to the 2020 campaign treasury.

(4,377 posts)..as an attack on another candidate? Kamala also did extremely well, especially considering she didn't have the advantage of having run in 2016 to build upon.
Can we just be happy for all our candidates when they do well please?
