Bernie Brings in the Bucks: Campaign Reports $4M Raised in First Day

(Bernie SOT)??“I’m Bernie Sanders, I’m running for president”????Just 12 hours after those words were spoken, Bernie Sanders’ campaign reports raising over $4 million.????The amount more than doubles Kamala Harris’ fundraising efforts, as she was able to raise $1.5 million within 24 hours of announcing her presidential bid.????The impressive start for the Vermont Senator reflects the frontrunner status many polls had shown prior to his announcement, as Sanders along with former Vice President Joe Biden consistently appeared at the top of those surveys.????It’s a contrast to his 2016 run, where despite an underdog status, the self-described Democratic socialist was able to electrify a movement and mount a serious challenge against Hillary Clinton who ultimately won the nomination.????What is similar to his previous grassroots campaign though is the average donation; as the Sanders’ team reports raising funds from nearly 150,000 individuals in all 50 states with the average amount of each donation being $27.????Sanders’ announcement did not go unnoticed in the White House, as President Trump tweeted…????“Crazy Bernie has just entered the race.

I wish him well!”
