Hillary Clinton said she raised a record $154 million in September in her race for the White House against Donald Trump.
In August, Clinton raised $143 million and Trump $90 million. It is common for campaign donations to increase as the election approaches. This year the voting is on November 8. The money is in fact divided between Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party.
Individual Americans can donate up to $2,700 to a candidate in a general election. Anything beyond $2,700 has to go to committees other than that of the candidate.
Clinton and her Democratic allies begin the month of October with a war chest of $150 million to blitz TV, radio and the internet with ads.
More than 900,000 people made a donation in September and 2.6 million have done so since the beginning of the race, the Clinton campaign said.
