WASHINGTON - Riding a victory wave, Hillary Clinton has raised $4 million online since Tuesday's presidential primary successes in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island, her campaign said yesterday.
But Barack Obama is still leading the fund-raising battle, and his campaign responded yesterday by saying it raised a record $55 million during February.
He broke his own fund-raising record from January, when he brought in $36 million, more than any other presidential candidate who has ever been in a contested primary. His campaign said it raised $45 million through the Internet in February and had 385,000 new contributors for a total of more than 1 million donors. All told, Obama has raised $193 million during his yearlong bid for the White House.
Clinton has reported raising $34 million for the primary in February. Her campaign said it had raised the $4 million online from the time polls closed Tuesday through noon Thursday. It reported 30,000 new donors. The influx of money made the online total raised for this month $6 million, the campaign said.
