Tim Canova, the first-time political candidate who's trying to unseat U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, isn't giving up on Bernie.

Canova fired off a series of tweets on Thursday pledging his allegiance to Sanders, despite Hillary Clinton having secured enough delegates to claim the Democratic nomination 10 days ago.


"I am still with Bernie! The rumors to the contrary are puzzling. #StillSanders," Canova tweeted, along with an image of a giant heart with the same hashtag.

Sanders threw his support behind Canova, a law professor, after the Vermont senator essentially declared war on Wasserman Schultz, accusing the Democratic National Committee chairwoman of blatantly favoring Clinton throughout the primary process. Sanders also gave Canova a big boost by lending him his fundraising prowess.

Canova is still returning the favor.

"I expect to support the Democratic Party's nominee and hope it will be Bernie. #StillSanders," Canova said in another tweet on Thursday afternoon.

"I am hoping the convention will nominate @BernieSanders and am well aware that CA votes are still being counted. Feeling the Bern!" yet another tweet read.

Clinton, however, was already named the winner of the California Democratic primary by claiming nearly 56 percent of the vote.

Canova’s campaign also announced Thursday it has raised $2 million. In a statement, the campaign said it received more than 115,000 individual donations from more than 58,000 donors. The average donation has been $17.16, the campaign said.

“People all over Florida and all over our district are supporting our campaign for change. They have had enough of a political system that is awash in corporate money and corporate influence,” Canova said in the statement. “Wasserman Schultz’s corporate donors are often standing in the way of progress for all.”
