Sanders surpasses 2015 fundraising goal with sizable 4Q haul

The campaign finance estimates indicate that Sanders should have the resources to mount an effective challenge: His campaign said it had $28.4 million in the bank at the end of 2015.

In addition to the money raised for her campaign, Clinton raised more than Dollars 18 million for the DNC and State Parties across the country through the Hillary Victory Fund in the fourth quarter.

The campaign added that more than 60% of its donors during 2015 had been women.

“We remain happy to work with them”, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said Saturday, when asked about joint fundraising efforts.

Clinton relies more heavily on larger donations.

She called billionaire Warren Buffett’s plan, which would set the minimum effective tax rate for those earning $1 million per year at 30 percent, “one idea that would help achieve greater fairness in our tax system”.

Clinton, by way of comparison, raised m in the last three months and $112m throughout 2015, her campaign announced Friday. In the most recent quarter, 94% of donations received were $100 or less, her campaign said.

Last month, Mr. Sanders’s team said in a court filing related to a lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee over access to voter data that it was losing 0,000 a day in anticipated donations.

The former president s visit to New Hampshire in support of his wife comes after Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has sharpened his attacks on both Clintons.

She was elected to United States senate in 2001 and is the first ever American lady to win a public office seat. “A quarter of the very highest earning taxpayers, those earning more than $250 million per year on average, pay a federal income tax rate of less than 20 percent”. That breaks the record for small donations for a candidate, which was held by Barack Obama’s fourth quarter re-election fundraising in 2011, when 2.2m donations poured in.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has raised $23 million. The total raised in the final quarter of 2015 was $33,281,952.
