Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders has raised $5.2 million since winning the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, his campaign said.

“In the 18 hours since the polls closed in the Granite State, his campaign has raised more than $5.2 million, shattering the campaign’s previous record for money raised in less than a day,” Mr. Sanders campaign said in a statement. “The average donation since Sanders’ speech is $34.”

After winning the Granite State by double-digits over rival former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Mr. Sanders issued a fundraising challenge to his supporters.

“I’m going to hold a fundraiser right here, right now, across America,” Mr. Sanders told the crowd gathered at his victory speech in Concord on Tuesday. “My request is please go to BernieSanders.com and contribute. Please help us raise the funds we need, whether it’s $10 bucks, $20 bucks, or $50 bucks. Help up us raise the money we need to take the fight to Nevada, South Carolina and the states on Super Tuesday.”
