So what if 60 percent of Hillary Clinton campaign donors are women? Bernie Sanders’s campaign says that more women have given money to the Vermont senator’s insurgent campaign. As of the last reporting period at the end of September, some 301,154 women gave money to Sanders in his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination, according to his campaign. That would top the approximately 240,000 women who have given money to Clinton since she launched her campaign.
