Sanders’ 2020 campaign said it has now topped the number of individual donations he received in his underdog 2016 bid, in which he fell short against Hillary Clinton in his quest for the Democratic nomination.

Seeking to draw a contrast between himself and some of his Democratic rivals, Sanders has repeatedly stressed that his campaign has been heavily funded by small donors. This statement from the campaign was no exception; it noted the average donation to his campaign this election cycle has been $19. Another point of pride for Sanders‘ supporters: The profession listed most commonly among donors is “teacher.”

“For too long,“ Sanders told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, “the Democratic Party and leaders have been going to rich people’s homes, raising money, and they've ignored the working class and the middle class and low-income people in this country. That has got to change.“
