Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign has raised about $15 million since it launched in late April, aides to the campaign told CNN on Thursday.
The aides added that the 400,000 donations came from about 250,000 individual donors. The average donation was $33.51 and 99% of donations were under $250.

Many of them are women and they would like to vote for the first woman President as long as she is a Democrat. They certainly will not vote for a Republican woman. 😏
