Washington (CNN)Bernie Sanders is slowly erasing Hillary Clinton's hard money advantage.
Clinton finished the summer fundraising quarter with $33 million in the bank, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. She raised $28.8 million in that July-through-September period for the Democratic primary and spent $25.8 million of it.
But while Clinton has more than any other candidate, Sanders is catching up. He ended the quarter with $27.1 million cash on hand. He raised $26.2 million and spent $11.3 million.
Snip: Jeff Weaver, Sanders' campaign manager, noted that the candidate can go back to those people for more cash. "Bernie's big base of small donors may give again and again," he said. "What is clear now is that this campaign to transform America will have the resources to fight all the way to the convention."
