[Bernie Sanders](https://twitter.com/SenSanders?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) just broke his monthly fundraising record, raking in more than $44 million in donations in March.

According to a [press release](https://berniesanders.com/press-release/sanders-monster-march/) from the campaign, the new March total breaks Sanders’ previous record total in February, which was $43.5 million. The Vermont Senator’s total for the first quarter of 2016 is now $109 million. His campaign has received 6.5 million contributions from 2 million donors.

Sanders out-raised rival and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in both January and February. She has not yet made her March fundraising totals public.
