Hillary Clinton records best fundraising in August, $143 million

Fundraising is doing well for Hillary Clinton: the Democratic candidate for the White House has raised $ 143 million in August, more than 50% compared to July, and to what, four years ago, Barack Obama had collected. The average size of donations were $ 50 each (less than 56 supporters of his rival, Donald Trump).

Robby Mook said he was very pleased with the amount raised in August. The exponent of the campaign manager of the Donkey Party said about it: "thanks to the 2.3 million people who have donated, we are approaching the race for the White House to the last two months with sufficient resources to organize and mobilize millions of voters across the nation. "

The Clinton campaign begins in September with $ 68 million in the bank in addition to 84 million of the two funds linked to the Democratic Party (Hillary Victory Fund and Hillary Action Fund). One of the main reasons why the former First Lady was able to rake a similar figure is given by Hillary Victory Fund, a fund that collects money for his campaign for the Democratic National Committee, the governing body party, and for the state seats of party affiliation. This means that a donor may pay $ 366,400 in various accounts through the Clinton campaign.

"The Trump divisive rhetoric continues to alienate voters by him and the Republican Party, creating an opportunity for the Democrats," added Mook. In essence, the Democrats, to increase the space of the Clinton donations are also taken to the tycoon position. His racist and sexist outputs have spurred voters to support Democratic candidate.

According to the latest surveys by Fox, the Democratic candidate can currently count on 41% of the electorate support, while Trump is still only at 39%. The Republican candidate, therefore, is back again but would reduce the deficit compared to previous surveys.
