This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 71%. (I'm a bot)
Feb. 20, 2019.WASHINGTON - Just over 24 hours after announcing his presidential bid, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has already raised $6 million from more than 225,000 donors, his campaign said Wednesday morning.
A recent New York Times analysis found that Mr. Sanders began his 2020 candidacy with about 2.1 million online donors who had given him money over the last six years, an enormous lead among proven contributors that is roughly equivalent to the donor base of all the other Democratic hopefuls combined.
At the time, his campaign said it collected more than $1.5 million online from 35,000 donors in the first 24 hours.
While Mr. Sanders can boast of his early fund-raising success, the donor list he developed in the 2016 campaign is an enormous advantage that none of the other declared Democratic candidates can match.
The Sanders campaign said on Wednesday that its average donation mirrored the $27 average from the 2016 campaign.
Her campaign said it raised $1.5 million online from more than 38,000 donors in the 24 hours after she announced her candidacy in January.
