Bernie Sanders raises $18,000,000 as Democrats' money primary kicks off.

That was the last contested Democratic primary with a large field, and even John Edwards raised $14 million that quarter, topping Harris' number today, while former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson raised $6 million, on par with Buttigieg's impressive figure. Harris entered the race relatively early, in January, raising $171,428 per day since then. Buttigieg formed his exploratory committee around the same time and took in $102,941 per day. Sanders, meanwhile, announced about a month after both of them, giving him a $443,902-per-day rate.
Still, Sanders' operation remains formidable: 525,000 individual contributors and a total of $28 million in the bank, thanks to existing funds the senator had raised in previous election campaigns. Still, that's a lot of money online for someone who has not run for president before, thanks in part to her campaign's massive early investment in digital advertising, which helped her build a donor base of 138,000 people.
