Admitting her team failed to keep pace with Sen. Bernie Sanders’ fundraising, Hillary Rodham Clinton is urging her supporters to “wake up” and pour more money into her campaign.
“There’s no cavalry coming,” her team said in a scolding email to supporters.
Our political reporter Al Weaver just broke the fundraising imbalance. He wrote: “The Clinton campaign announced Thursday that they raised $15 million January, news they released four days after the Sanders camp released its $20 million figure. December was big for Sanders, as he raised a total of $33.6 million during the entire fourth quarter of 2015.”
From Team Clinton:
WE FELL SHORT BY $5 MILLION
Paul —
For the first time this campaign, we’re being outraised by our opponent. Bernie raised more than $20 million in January (and another $3 million so far this month) — we fell short at only $15 million for Hillary for America.
If you’ve believed that Hillary Clinton is going to win this election because other people are going to step up and take care of it, this should be a very loud wake-up call.
There’s no cavalry coming — it’s just people like you who are going to decide whether or not to step up to elect the first woman president our country has ever had.
If you’re with her, chip in $1 to show it today:
Paul, donate $1
Thank you,
Dennis
