Sanders raises $18 million in 41 days, but falls short of donor goal

[TexasTowelie]

Since announcing his presidential campaign in February, Sen. Bernie Sanders has raised $18.2 million, from a total of about 900,000 individual donations, his campaign announced Tuesday.

The fundraising figures show the Sanders campaign fell short of its goal for the first quarter of 2019: to reach one million individual donations in about six weeks.

But campaign officials said that this financial target had always been ambitious, and was meant to galvanize Sanders’ grassroots base.

With the funds Sanders already has available — about $28 million in cash on hand — he will be able to build infrastructure in key primary states, they said.

6. He raised $6 million in 24 hours

and then 12 million in five whole weeks.

Spigot is slowing down to a trickle.

Hopefully he can release his tax returns now instead of counting the money.
