Bernie Sanders Raises Record $6 Million After Launching 2020 Bid
----------------------------------------------------------------

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders raised nearly $6 million in the first
24 hours after launching his 2020 presidential bid-crushing the
fundraising efforts of his fellow 2020 hopefuls. California Senator
Kamala Harris was the second-highest fundraiser, receiving $1.5 million
in donations in the 24 hours after her announcement. His campaign said
the average donation was $27-the same as during his 2016 run.
