Clinton, pivoting to the general, sees boost in fundraising

San Francisco (CNN)Hillary Clinton’s pivot to the general election has been good for her campaign bank account.

Clinton-headlined fundraisers have brought in close to $34 million this month, according to a CNN estimate based on ticket prices and attendance numbers provided by the Clinton campaign.

Clinton has headlined 18 fundraisers in eight states, including four Tuesday in Colorado and California that raised more than $4 million dollars.

This fundraising haul, which does not include money raised online and in fundraisers headlined by other Clinton surrogates, puts the former secretary of state’s campaign on track to raise more than what she has raised in other months this year.

The reason is two-fold: Clinton, dispatching with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders earlier this month, is now fundraising for the general election, meaning donors who maxed out their primary contributions with a $2,700 donation are now able to donate up to another $2,700. For the full article click here
