Clinton campaign halfway to $1 billion fundraising goal
PROVINCETOWN, Mass. (AP) — Hillary Clinton's campaign is halfway to its goal of raising a billion dollars for the 2016 race, according to her finance director.
Dennis Cheng announced the achievement on Thursday in a meeting with staff at the campaign's headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, according to a campaign aide who was present for the meeting but wasn't authorized to discuss internal campaign strategy and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Her campaign has resisted publicizing a fundraising target for the general election, fearing it would draw attention to big donors at a time when voters angry about the role of money in politics. She aimed to raise $100 million for her primary bid.
