(CNN) Sen. Bernie Sanders raised more than $25 million over the past three months, his campaign said Tuesday morning.
The haul -- up more than $7 million from his second quarter total -- underscored Sanders' continued strength with small dollar donors. The campaign announced last week that it had received contributions from more than a million people.
"Bernie is proud to be the only candidate running to defeat Donald Trump who is 100 percent funded by grassroots donations -- both in the primary and in the general," Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in a statement celebrating the new figures. He also took aim at the press coverage of the campaign, which has struggled in recent early-state polling amid internal tensions over its strategy and spending.
"Media elites and professional pundits have tried repeatedly to dismiss this campaign," Shakir said, "and yet working-class Americans keep saying loudly and clearly that they want a political revolution."
