Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has received two million donations, more than any non-incumbent candidate in history, his campaign said Thursday.

The Sanders campaign released a web and television ad on Thursday touting the haul, in which the Vermont senator notes that he accomplished the feat without the help of a super-PAC.

“Over 2 million contributions have been made to the only campaign that rejects a corrupt campaign finance system,” Sanders says in the ad. “You can’t level the playing field with Wall Street banks and billionaires by taking their money.”
