The Bernie Sanders presidential campaign has gotten off to a strong fundraising start.

In just a few days, the campaign has raised more than $2 million and almost all of the contributions have come from small donors.

Audio for this story will be posted at approximately 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5

Sanders says he can be successful as a presidential candidate only if hundreds of thousands of Americans contribute to his campaign. His goal is to raise between $40 and $50 million dollars over the next eight months.

The more people get to know him, the more they will be willing to donate.

It's only been a few days. Two million from ordinary people is just fantastic!
