Bernie Sanders easily outraised Hillary Clinton in March

Hillary Clinton raised $29.5 million in March, her campaign announced Monday. That's about $15 million less than her Democratic presidential opponent, Bernie Sanders, raised in the same period, Politico reports.

The Clinton campaign, which is far ahead of Sanders in terms of winning delegates for the party's nomination, is still billing the fundraising total as a win.

"By making smart investments and beating our first quarter fundraising goal by nearly 50 percent, we've been able to build a nearly insurmountable pledged delegate lead and earned 2.5 million more votes than our opponent," campaign manager Robby Mook said in a statement.
