Hillary Clinton Raised More Than Bernie Sanders in April And Will Continue To Do So

With the Democratic nominating contest entering its final stretch and her sights set on the general election, Hillary Clinton raised roughly $26.4 million in April for her primary fight, her campaign said Monday, taking in more than her rival, Bernie Sanders, during the month.

Mrs. Clinton, who now has $30 million on hand in her campaign, also raised an additional $9.5 million for Democratic candidates and state parties nationwide through a joint fund-raising program with the Democratic National Committee. That program allows for some of that money to also be used for Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.

“Thanks to 1.2 million people across the country, we have the resources we need to continue to run a winning primary campaign while preparing for the general election,” said Robby Mook, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager.

As it should be. And shame on anyone claiming it is fraudulent behavior to do so...
