So was Hillary’s debt all eventually paid off only from $2,500 donations?

This article says from 2/2009 to 2/2010 she paid off $4.5 million in debt, the vast bulk of her remaining debt at that time.

Newt had raised millions for his think tanks like American Solutions so I have a feeling he’ll be able to pay this down in the same timeframe Hillary did.

It still hasn't been all paid off yet. What was paid is from $2500 or less per person. A person is limited by campaign finance law from simply donating millions to his/her own campaign -- that includes donating millions after the election to pay off campaign debt. Companies cannot donate.

He can raise millions, but it will still can only be for $2500 per person or less.
