Bernie Sanders has best fundraising quarter of any 2020 Democrat yet, at $34.5M

Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign said it raised $34.5 million during the final financial quarter of 2019, the highest reported yet of a 2020 Democrat in the race so far.

“Bernie Sanders is closing the year with the most donations of any candidate in history at this point in a presidential campaign,” Sanders’s campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in an email Thursday. “He is proving each and every day that working class Americans are ready and willing to fully fund a campaign that stands up for them and takes on the biggest corporations and the wealthy. You build a grassroots movement to beat Donald Trump and create a political revolution one $18 donation at a time, and that’s exactly why Bernie is going to win.”
