As the 2020 Democrats begin unveiling their third quarter fundraising hauls, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has the number to beat.
Sanders' campaign announced Tuesday he raised a massive $25.3 million in the third quarter of 2019, up from about $18 million during the second quarter, Politico reports. The Vermont Democrat had also raised about $18 million during the first quarter of 2019, which was enough to have him leading the pack; this was before former Vice President Joe Biden entered the race.
