In 24 hours after Iowa caucuses, Sanders donors pony up $3 million, aides say
Nearly winning Iowa has been very good for Bernie Sanders’s bank account.
An aide to the Democratic presidential hopeful said Tuesday that the campaign had raised $3 million since Monday night’s Iowa caucuses, in which Sanders finished right behind Hillary Clinton, according to Iowa Democratic Party figures.
“It’s been our best day ever,” Sanders communications director Michael Briggs said of the fundraising haul.
Sanders raises the vast majority of his money online in small increments, which gives the campaign the ability to return to donors to ask for additional contributions. Only a tiny fraction of Sanders’s contributors have hit the $2,700 maximum, aides say.
