Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has raised more than $18.2 million since launching his 2020 presidential campaign in late February, the campaign announced on Tuesday. Sanders raised that sum from nearly 900,000 contributions, which came from 525,000 individuals, some of whom donated more than once. Counting those funds, Sanders has raised $32 million and has $28 million in cash on hand that he can still spend. “The state of the Bernie Sanders campaign is strong and getting stronger by the day,” said campaign manager Faiz Shakir on a call with reporters announcing the figures. Still, Sanders’ campaign haul is not that much higher than his first quarter of campaigning for the 2016 presidential race.
