Bernie Sanders raised an astonishing amount of money in the month of February, the Democratic presidential candidate announced last night.

"Lifted by more than 1.4 million contributions averaging $30 a piece, Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign on Monday announced it raised more than $42 million in the month of February. The total is the most raised in a single month by any candidate running for president in 2016," the Sanders campaign announced.

"Sanders hauled in more than $6 million on the final day of the month alone, nearly matching the amount he raised in the 24 hours after a 22-point victory in the New Hampshire primary."
