Clinton Smashes Fundraising Goal

January 1, 2016 · 7:21 pm ET · 4 Comments

“Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Friday reported a tremendous fourth-quarter fundraising haul, saying it pulled in $37 million in funds supporting her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination,” The Hill reports.

“That brings her total funds from 2015 to $112 million, smashing through the goal her campaign set of raising $100 million.”

New York Times: “In a sign that the Clinton operation is also looking past the nominating contest, the campaign said that while it was only soliciting donations for the primaries, it had also raised $1 million in donations to be used in the general election.”
