Sanders has spoken out against the company’s policies and workplace conditions in the past.
According to Sanders, the size of the individual donations indicated that campaigns could garner support without assistance from the rich.
“Together, we’re proving you don’t need to beg the wealthy and the powerful for campaign contributions in order to win elections,” Sanders wrote in a tweet about his campaign’s fourth quarter results Thursday.
Most national polls have shown Sanders in second place for the Democratic nomination, just behind former Vice President Joe Biden. On Thursday afternoon, the Biden campaign, announced raised $22.7 million in the last quarter of 2019, for a fundraising total of $59.5 million since the campaign launched on April 25. Data from the Center for Responsive Politics stated that the largest contributions came from donors associated with three law firms—Morgan & Morgan; Paul, Weiss et al. and Weitz & Luxenberg.
