桑德斯正向关键竞选投入数十万美元，并在本选举周期为其首选候选人筹集了280万美元。伯尼·桑德斯正在开启他的竞选金库。
Sanders is putting hundreds of thousands of dollars toward key campaigns and has raised $2.8 million for his preferred candidates this cycle. Bernie Sanders is cracking open his war chest.
几个月来，这位佛蒙特州参议员走遍全国，助推多位进步派人士在初选中接连获胜。他向“政客”（POLITICO）新闻网透露，目前他正动用自己庞大的竞选资金，作为更广泛努力的一部分，旨在推动关键战场的民主党人在11月冲过终点线。
For months, the Vermont senator criss-crossed the country vaulting progressives to a series of primary wins. Now, he told POLITICO, he’s dipping into his substantial campaign coffers as part of a broader effort to propel battleground Democrats over the finish line in November.
根据桑德斯竞选团队及另一位因透露转账细节而要求匿名的知情人士透露，截至7月1日，其竞选团队拥有近2300万美元资金，目前正着手出资数十万美元，以支持明尼苏达州参议员竞选中的副州长佩吉·弗拉纳根（Peggy Flanagan）。桑德斯竞选团队表示，他还计划为他背书的其他候选人提供资金支持，包括佛罗里达州安吉·尼克松（Angie Nixon）的参议员竞选以及明尼苏达州总检察长基思·埃利森（Keith Ellison）的连任竞选。
His campaign had nearly $23 million as of July 1, and is currently in the process of contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to support Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota’s Senate race, according to Sanders’ campaign and a second person granted anonymity to share details of the transfer. He also plans to financially boost other candidates he’s endorsed, including Angie Nixon’s Senate campaign in Florida and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s reelection bid, according to Sanders’ campaign.
这些此前未曾报道的捐款，是桑德斯首次从其竞选账户中拨出资金用于大选，这也是左翼领军人物在中期选举最后的冲刺阶段掀起的一系列活跃行动的一部分。
Those donations, which have not previously been reported, are the first Sanders has made from his campaign account for the general election, part of a surge of activity from the left’s leading figurehead in the final midterm sprint.
