Bernie Sanders Just Made Presidential Campaign Contribution History
"The Bernie Sanders campaign announced Sunday that it "reached a major milestone in grassroots financial support" during the third Democratic presidential debate. A statement posted on its website says the campaign has now received over 2.3 million contributions. That means Sanders now holds the record for highest number of contributions for a White House bid, breaking the record held by President Barack Obama in 2011. The statement adds that "grassroots supporters flooded" the campaign site during the debate, with the average contribution amount being below $25."
