With $30M on hand, Clinton pivots to general election spending

The Hillary Clinton campaign begins May with $30 million on hand and will now pivot its finances toward funding a general election campaign, as it has already stopped spending money on the remaining primaries.

Although Hillary for America raised over $36 million during April, allocating $26.4 million to primary funds and $9.5 million to the Democratic National Committee and state parties through the Hillary Victory Fund, it is saving its money. Last week, the campaign suspended any spending in the major primary states of California, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Oregon, as Clinton has enough of a delegate lead that she could lose every primary and still win the party’s nomination.
