NEW YORK As Bernie Sanders gains on Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic nomination, his campaign announced Wednesday that it raised more than $25.5 million in the third quarter -- only $3 million behind Clinton.
The total represents a large jump from the second quarter, when Sanders' campaign raised $15.2 million. While that number was significant, it was dwarfed by the Clinton campaign's record-breaking $45 million haul in the same period.
A Clinton aide announced Wednesday that the campaign raised $28 million in the third quarter, bringing its total to about $75 million.
"We are thrilled and grateful for the support of hundreds of thousands of donors across the country, helping us raise a record $75 million in the first two quarters," Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said in a statement.
