Hillary Clinton's super-PAC raises 11 million U.S. dollars in March: report

Xinhua, April 21, 2016 Adjust font size:

A pro-Hillary Clinton super-PAC raised more than 11 million U.S. dollars last month, local media reported Wednesday.

The overall haul by Priorities USA, one of the biggest super-PACs supporting Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Clinton, has amounted to 67 million dollars and donors had committed to donating another 49 million dollars in the coming months, CNN cited the group's spokesman Justin Barasky as saying.

The group's tally also came one day after Clinton scored a crucial primary victory in her adopted state of New York, which she represented in the U.S. Senate for eight years.

So far, the group has reserved 125 million dollars in television and digital advertising starting the day after California's Democratic primary on June 7, when Clinton campaign expects that the former secretary of state would by then have secured the party's nomination, according to the CNN report.

Despite Priorities USA's expected boost to Clinton's campaign during the general election, its formidable fundraising bid had so far become a liability to Clinton in a chaotic election cycle featuring grassroots protests against party establishment and big money in U.S. politics. Endit
