Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Raised $63 Million in July, Its Best Mark So Far

Hillary Clinton raised $63 million in the month culminating in the Democratic National Convention last week, her campaign announced on Tuesday, her most successful fund-raising month to date.

Clinton officials also said the campaign received a surge of money in the 24 hours after Mrs. Clinton’s speech Thursday accepting the nomination, with $8.7 million raised. Mrs. Clinton also raised $26 million in July for the Democratic National Committee, money she is certain to benefit from now that she is formally the Democratic nominee.

Hillary raises $63 million in July. Trump raises $80 million. Hillary miraculously raises $90 million a few hours later. Any ideas why her figures are changing so much?

[SERKIT]

Does that include the $25M-$40M from Saudi Arabia and the UAE?

[Donglalinger]

We know from Wikileaks that the DNC will get None of that money

[Nifster]

Beat me to it

Trump did very well

[Snowybear]

Trump raised $80 million in July.

[immadashell]

How much from the crime family foundation?

[GilGil]

Actually she got 10% of the $400 million they sent to Iran for the hostages.

and then you wonder why no one trusts her.

[Mr. K]

must be from those crowds of DOZENS showing up at her rallies

[GilGil]

If a dozen supporters donate $8M apiece there is your $90 M right there.

Sounds like the polls...the winds are always shifting for Hillary.

[GilGil]

So she raised $63M and miraculously a few hours later she come sup with $27 M. Wow! Wish that worked for me in my bank account!

I don’t believe any of Hillary’s blatherings....particularly about money.

The Clintons have plenty of money stashed offshore....they wire transfer what they need to her campaign account. Then they announce she’s so “popular” that she got millions in donations.

Balderdash....don’t believe it.

[Brad from Tennessee]

The reason Hillary needs huge campaign funds is that the Clintons are likely skimming the coffer. There are innumerable ways to manipulate this money so some of it ends up in Clinton's pocket. Friendly consultants, vendors, ad agencies, etc. can kick back after being overpaid for services or products. I can't prove this but it would follow the crooked pattern Hillary and Bill established long ago.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hillary has the BIG money good old boys on her side. They know she is the only one who can keep they corruption in D.C. going. They might not like her but they’ve got to keep their eye on their bottom line. The status quo must be protected at all costs.

[Liz]

She cant get people out to her rallies....she's been canceling them left and right......but all these people gave her money?

Another bald-faced Clinton lie.

[Fresh Wind]

I am no more likely to vote for the Wicked Witch of Chappaqua after having seen 1000 of her commercials than after having seen one.

[hsmomx3]

Would love to see the wire transfers and checks she received!

[Fresh Wind]

An important fact about campaign funding...

Any unspent campaign funds cannot legally be taken by the candidate after the election. It may be held on account for future campaigns, given to other candidates, or given to charity.

Can anyone guess which charity Hillary would donate her unspent campaign money to?

[drjimmy]

Hillary raises $63 million in July. Trump raises $80 million. Hillary miraculously raises $90 million a few hours later. Any ideas why her figures are changing so much?

Read the second paragraph of the article. She raised $63 million for her campaign and $26 million for the Democratic National Committee. That equals just about $90 million.

Trump hasn't said whether the $80 million he raised is just for his campaign or if it includes joint fund-raising with the Republican National Committee.

[LostPassword]

I bet the Clinton Crime Family Foundation raised even more than that. The closer she gets to becoming Queen the more she can collect for future actions.
