Democrats raised $141 million in April through ActBlue, the party’s online donor platform, as candidates lean more heavily on its digital outreach during the coronavirus pandemic.

ActBlue announced in a blog post that the haul was fueled by about 4.5 million contributions from more than 1.8 million donors. The average donation amounted to $31.65.

The platform boasted that the haul was “the fifth largest month in ActBlue’s history by number of contributions, and sixth largest by total dollars raised and unique donors.”

Donations to ActBlue sharply rose in February to $210 million as the presidential primary continued on and tapered off in March to $157 million. While the April haul is a drop from the previous two months, it is a spike from the $50 million the group raised in April 2016.
