Sanders' campaign said the makeup of their donors puts the Vermont independent in a good position to continue raking in contributions as the campaign heats up and they begin to set down stakes in new states. Shakir reported that 88% of the total came from donations of $200 or less and that 99.5% of donations were for $100 or less. The majority of donors were young, he said, and that the occupation most likely to give were teachers.

"With respect to how you finance campaigns, I believe (the source of donations) tells you a little bit about how much liberty you're going to have to govern," Shakir told reporters. "Bernie Sanders is a free man, not captured by industry, and is instead going to fight for all the people."
