Add this to the $5.9 million raised in the first 24 hours, and the campaign is off to a great start.

Bernie will be on CNN tonight at 8 p.m. eastern time in a town hall with Wolf Blitzer.

In other Bernie news, the campaign will be holding its first rally in Brooklyn on Sunday:

Just a little Bernie news to start the week off.

Update I: People can watch the short video at work on mute. The text is written at the bottom. It’s a minute long at most.

Update II: From subir in the comments:

x When Sanders announced his campaign last week, he said he was looking for 1 million people to back him. His team just said he's hit that mark.



But the number that other campaigns will notice: "The sign ons include...324,186 new people who were not part of SandersÃ¢ÂÂ 2016 campaign" Ã¢ÂÂ Gabriel Debenedetti (@gdebenedetti) February 25, 2019

324,186 New People! Growing the Political Revolution.

Update III: Bernie op-ed in the Guardian today:

It's time to complete the revolution we started Bernie Sanders In 2016, our campaign began the political revolution. Now, it is time to defeat Donald Trump, complete that revolution and implement the vision we fought for. One week ago, when we launched our campaign for president, I asked people from across the country to sign up to be part of an unprecedented grassroots campaign. The response from the American people has been historic. In six days, more than one million people have answered the call. Americans from every single congressional district in the country have signed up to help lead a movement that is not only about defeating Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern American history, but about creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice. This task will not be easy. snip The only way we will defeat Donald Trump and the special interests that support him is with a grassroots movement – the likes of which has never been seen in American history. We must stand together – women and men, black, white, Latino, Native American, Asian American, gay and straight, young and old, native born and immigrant – to address the challenges we face as a nation. snip In 2016, our campaign began the political revolution. The ideas we fought for, which then were considered “radical” or “extreme,” are now supported by a majority of Americans. Now, it is time to defeat Donald Trump, complete that revolution and implement the vision we fought for.

Update IV: I guess this will be the inaugural edition of the BERN — Bernie Election and Revolution News. This is a group effort and we hope to have weekly, and maybe daily, news reports as the campaign moves on,
