Yes, we did it! One Million!
With hours to go before the third quarter campaign finance filing deadline, the campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said it reached its goal of one million individual online contributions.
He is the first candidate of the 2016 campaign to announce it had reached this number – and he reached it faster than President Barack Obama did in 2008 and 2012.
The Sanders campaign has touted its goal of hitting one million online donations by tonight’s deadline to spur more individuals to donate.
Mr. Obama reached one million donations in his 2008 campaign in February of that year. In 2012, his campaign announced that they had reached one million donations in October 2011.
