Sanders keeps raising millions — and spending them, a potential problem for Clinton

[tabasco]

DETROIT — Sen. Bernie Sanders’s path to the Democratic nomination may be narrowing, but his record fundraising shows no sign of slowing down, ensuring that the long-shot rival to Hillary Clinton can remain in the race for months to come.

Sanders’s unique success at attracting political money, combined with his powerful appeal to young voters, means that he will keep raising and spending millions of dollars across the country — forcing Clinton to spend, too, and potentially allowing him to score enough victories to drag out the nominating contest and delay what is widely seen as Clinton’s inevitable pivot to the general election.

The lasting power of the senator from Vermont has triggered concern among some Clinton allies that it will weaken her — not only because she must spend precious dollars competing against him, but because he is criticizing her in ways that could dampen enthusiasm for her in the fall. But other supporters note that Sanders’s success has helped keep the Clinton campaign at a full tilt when fundraising otherwise might have lessened.
