Hillary Clinton raises record United States dollars 112 million in 2015
The Hillary Clinton campaign has exceeded its fundraising goals of $100 million.
U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton raised $55 million in the last three months of 2015, her campaign said on Friday.
In all, the Clinton campaign has raised $112 million for the primary since launching in April. The money didn’t come easy, however.
President Obama’s bold move on gun control bodes well for Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, who will score political points for supporting similar policies, experts told the Herald.
It said she had raised $37 million for the primary campaign, the most for any non-incumbent in a non-election year, and $18 million for the Democratic Party in the fourth quarter.
Hoenig also commented on the US State Department’s release of another batch of 5,500 pages of Hillary Clinton’s personal emails from her time as secretary of state, raising the total pages released so far to over 40,000.
Cruz’s campaign said in a memo to supporters that he will finish the year having raised more than $45 million, but it did not disclose how much the campaign has spent or how much cash it has on hand.
“We are now heading into Iowa and New Hampshire with the resources we need to be successful”, Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, said in a statement announcing the figures.
Bernie Sanders, a candidate for the Democratic nomination, did not immediately report his fundraising totals for the quarter that ended on Thursday.
The most recent filing comes just weeks before the first-in-the-nation ballots will be cast in the Democratic nominating contest, and Clinton’s latest grab provides a much-needed cushion of support as she battles for support in key early voter states.
The labor-intensive process, which required Clinton to criss-cross the country on both the campaign and fundraising trail, saw the former secretary of state headline fundraisers in 20 states and Washington, D.C. But her campaign has also received a wave of smaller donations, particularly after Clinton’s testimony before the Benghazi committee in Congress and following her debate performances, aides said.
