(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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 meaning donors had showered him with more than $4 million in a single day.<\/p>\n
