Bernie Sanders’ insurgent campaign raised $26 million in the third quarter — 2 million of it in the last day. Almost all of that was in small dollar donations. Sanders’ campaign says he has gotten more than 1.3 million donations (from 650,000 donors) since Sanders started running.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign gave its own preview of third quarter fundraising, saying she raised $28 million. A campaign aide said most of her donations were for $100 or less. But throughout the campaign Clinton has also held numerous big dollar fundraisers, often several in a single day.
