Bernie Sanders Raised $6 Million From Small Donors in the First Six Weeks of His Campaign

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, said Thursday his campaign has raised $6 million dollars in small donations since entering the race on April 30.

"I think we have gotten over 150,000 individual donations" at an average take of "$40 a piece," Sanders said in aninterview on PBS' Charlie Rose. He expects the total haul to reach $10 million by the end of June. Candidates are not required to file official financial disclosure forms until July 15.

Sanders has doubled his donor base and war chest after jumping out to a quick start in the first four days of the campaign, in which his campaign netted $3 million from 75,000 supporters.
