Sanders has already taken in more individual contributions than Obama did at this point in his 2008 campaign for president. Aides to Sanders said they are confident by the end of the year, Sanders will have more than the 2.2 million donations that Obama did at that point in the 2012 race as well.
As they approached the 2-million mark, Sanders's campaign cut an ad to commemorate the achievement. Aides said the ad, narrated by Sanders, will run both on television and on the Internet.
