Bernie Sanders saw a $2.6-million fundraising surge after his New Hampshire win
Though Bernie Sanders currently has two fewer New Hampshire delegates than rival Hillary Clinton at Tuesday night's primary, he overwhelmingly won the state's popular vote. And when he did, money came pouring in, Politico reports.
From when polls closed at 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., the Vermont senator's campaign netted $2.6 million in donations.
In January, Sanders outraised Clinton by $5 million.
