VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) Bernie Sanders presidential campaign said Sunday that it raised more than $46.5 million in February, a show of financial strength after the Vermont senator finished a distant second behind Joe Biden in South Carolinas primary.
Fellow progressive Elizabeth Warren announced a short time later collecting a respectable $29 million last month, as she copes with a weaker South Carolina showing.
Sanders team said it was making television ad buys in nine more states: Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri and Washington, which vote on March 10, and Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio, which vote a week later. The campaign said it is currently on the air in 12 out of the 14 states that are voting on Super Tuesday, in two days.
The senators multi-generational, multiracial working class coalition keeps fueling his campaign for transformational change a few bucks at a time, Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir said in a statement. He said that, of the more than 2 million donations received this month, more than 1.4 million were from voters in Super Tuesday states.
