“What we are proving on this campaign is that one does not need to beg the wealthy and the powerful for campaign contributions in order to win elections.”
The Bernie Sanders presidential campaign said Wednesday that it met its fundraising goal of 5 million individual donations, boasting of the number as “more contributions than any campaign has received at this point in a presidential election in the history of our country.”
“What we are proving on this campaign is that one does not need to beg the wealthy and the powerful for campaign contributions in order to win elections,” Sanders said in an email to supporters announcing the fundraising haul.
“I am proud to say that ours is the only campaign in this Democratic primary with more donations than Donald Trump,” wrote Sanders.
