By the next day, the Green Party had received more than $80,000 in contributions, over half of which comes from first-time donors, and half of which comes in the form of contributions under $50. Tellingly, about 615 of those contributions totalled $27 β the exact number commonly trumpeted and solicited by the Sanders campaign during his revolutionary grassroots funding movement.
βThere's been an explosion of Berners coming in through every portal of the campaign, and it's really exciting,β Stein told US Uncut. βThere is so much courage out there to stand up to the marching orders handed down by the usual suspects.β
Stein's social media accounts have also seen large growth and engagement in the past 24 hours. A recent livestream posted to the Stein campaign's Facebook page had been viewed over 300,000 times in less than a day. There were also 10,000 new signups for her email list in the day after Sanders' endorsement of Clinton.
