Hillary Rodham Clinton raised $10 million in the 24 hours after winning the Pennsylvania primary, aided by contributions from 80,000 new donors, her campaign said. The $10 million came from a total of 100,000 donors, spokesman Mo Elleithee said.
Clinton, who was strapped for cash going into the Pennsylvania contest against Barack Obama, started making fundraising pleas as soon as the race was over. She told supporters during her nationally televised victory speech to go to her website to send money.
She continued making the point the next day in Indianapolis, telling supporters that she was being outspent by Obama and that she had to “hustle” to keep up. Clinton reported having a bit more than $9 million on hand at the end of March, but $10 million in debt.
