Bernie Sanders' immense fundraising haul reflects a resilient movement [View all]

By EVAN HALPER and JANET HOOK APR 02, 2019
WASHINGTON

Bernie Sanders put to rest any suggestion that the movement behind him has faded since his first run for president as his campaign team announced Tuesday that he had raised an immense amount of cash from a huge number of donors.

Sanders’ campaign collected $18.2 million from 525,000 donors – most of them under age 39 – in the first quarter of 2019, campaign officials said. The intimidating show of financial force will likely position Sanders to compete aggressively in every key state, giving him more resources than most of his rivals.
