Bernie Sanders Received Donations from all 50 states within the hour of his 2020 campaign announce [View all]

When Senator Bernie Sanders announced his 2020 presidential run on Tuesday, it sparked an immediate wave of donations from across the country.

“I wanted to let the people of the state of Vermont know about this first,” Sanders told Vermont Public Radio this morning. “And what I promise to do is, as I go around the country, is to take the values that all of us in Vermont are proud of—a belief in justice, in community, in grassroots politics, in town meetings—that's what I'm going to carry all over this country."

Shortly after his announcement, his campaign tweeted that “supporters from all 50 states have donated to our unprecedented grassroots campaign.” NBC News political reporter Alex Seitz-Wald tweeted that the campaign confirmed that Sanders had received donations from all 50 states within an hour of his launched 2020 bid.
