You knew it was going to be big. Now we know just how big.
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign waited barely 14 hours after the end of the all-important first quarter to report today that it took in $36 million during the period. That figure includes $10 million that was left over from her 2006 re-election campaign and rolled into her presidential fund.
Since she announced her candidacy for president on Jan. 20, Clinton raised $26 million in donations, or about $11 million more than the previously-announced goal of the campaign.
“We are overwhelmed by the tremendous enthusiasm and historic response this campaign has received so far,� campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle said today. “Going forward we are poised to continue this success and make even more history.�
