They keep showing Bernie the money.
Despite his recent losses in Nevada and South Carolina, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders remains a fundraising powerhouse, raising $40 million and counting in February for his bid for the Democratic Party's nomination.
Sanders had set a goal of collecting $40 million for the month before the fundraising deadline ended Monday. That's nearly two times the $21 million the Vermont senator raised in January.
He started his last-minute fundraising drive Monday morning, having already collected $36 million. By 7:58 p.m. Monday night, he had raised $40.7 million — meaning donors had showered him with more than $4 million in a single day.
Sanders quickly turned to a new goal: raising $45 million before midnight, according to a target posted on his website. (You can track Sanders' progress on this page .)
