Detroit — Following a strong debate performance in Detroit on Wednesday night, the Sanders Campaign released a press release claiming to have raised over two million dollars with 1/4th of those donations from new contributors.
Even with Trump’s 750,000 individual donors, Bernie Sanders is now the only democrat to have surpassed Trump with more individual donors.
Faiz Shakir, Bernie’s campaign manager and former ACLU national political director, stated “Our campaign has received over 2.25 million individual contributions. That makes Bernie Sanders the only democratic candidate to have more individual contributions than Donald Trump.”
The quarter three filing deadline for the FEC is October 15th, meaning, we should have an even clearer picture of Bernie’s enormous donor army following both the July and September debates.
