Bernie Sanders raises more than $6 million after winning the New Hampshire primary

Bernie Sanders scored a second big win just one day after dominating the New Hampshire primary Tuesday. Within 24 hours of the Granite State's polls closing, the Vermont senator had topped his $6 million fundraising goal and raised $6.4 million, the Sanders campaign confirmed late Wednesday. The average campaign contribution was just $34, The Hill reports.

Sanders reached his goal in record speed. A mere 18 hours after beating Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, 60 percent to 38 percent, The Hill reports that Sanders was already well on his way to meeting his goal with $5.2 million raised. His fundraising momentum prompted his campaign to push the goal to $7 million. "I'll be honest — right now, the math looks difficult to raise another $1 million today," Sanders' campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, said in an email to supporters. "But I think it's important for us to try, and not just because there are 14 primaries and caucuses over the next three months."

Sanders' post-New Hampshire take beats his former 24-hour fundraising best. After he nearly tied Clinton in the Iowa caucuses, Sanders raised $3 million in 24 hours.
