Clinton Lent Campaign $6.4M in Past Month

Democratic contender puts money where her mouth is

Share

(Newser) – Hillary Clinton injected $6.4 million of her own money into her presidential campaign over the past month, a senior aide tells the AP. That donation more than doubles the amount Hillary has lent her campaign so far.  But despite the personal largesse—$11.5 million so far—and the $10 million she raised after the Pennsylvania primary, Barack Obama still outspent her in Indiana and North Carolina.
