Trump doubles monthly campaign fundraising, lags Clinton
NEW
YORK/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Donald
Trump’s campaign raised $3.1 million from donors in May, more than
doubling previous monthly hauls as he began soliciting donations to
battle Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
But
with spending that outpaced inflows, the New York real estate magnate's
campaign began June with just $1.29 million in cash, putting it
well-behind Clinton's $42 million war chest, according to federal
disclosures filed late on Monday.
