Amount Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign raised in April, “a notable decline from a month earlier, when he raised $44 million,” Politico reports. “The Sanders campaign reported the latest fundraising haul on Sunday, noting that it surpassed ‘the campaign’s average monthly total of $17 million.’”
