The Vermont senator raised $44 million in March. That beats his previous record of $43.5 million set in February.

So far, the Sanders campaign says it has raised $109 million in the first quarter of 2016 — over 97 percent of that was raised online.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign hasn’t released her numbers for March yet. In February, she brought in $30 million.

(Feb. 29, 2016 21:30 ET) — Despite his recent losses in Nevada and South Carolina, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders remains a fund raising powerhouse, raising $40 million and counting in February for his bid for the Democratic Party’s nomination.

Sanders had set a goal of collecting $40 million for the month before the fundraising deadline ended Monday. That’s nearly two times the $21 million the Vermont senator raised in January.

He started his last-minute fundraising drive Monday morning, having already collected $36 million. By 7:58 p.m. Monday night, he had raised $40.7 million — meaning donors had showered him with more than $4 million in a single day.
