WASHINGTON — Just over 24 hours after announcing his presidential bid, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has already raised $6 million from more than 225,000 donors, his campaign said Wednesday morning.
That amount far surpasses what any of his rivals have disclosed raising after their own announcements this year.
Previously, Senator Kamala Harris of California had claimed the biggest early fund-raising haul that had been made public, with $1.5 million in 24 hours. In comparison, Mr. Sanders’s campaign said its fund-raising in the first 24 hours came to $5.9 million.
The Sanders campaign said on Wednesday that its average donation mirrored the $27 average from the 2016 campaign.
Mr. Sanders received $600,000 in donations that will recur monthly, his campaign said.
