With as much cash as Hillary Clinton has headed into the last weeks of the campaign, Politico reported Friday she could spend almost $5 million a day blitzing Donald Trump in battleground states.
Clinton started the month with $150 million on hand, and she's already invested $80 million in TV ads. Then, there's the Democratic National Committee's cash, which totaled $11.5 million at the beginning of September, and the super PAC Priorities USA Action, which headed into September with $40 million. Trump, in comparison, had $38 million on hand at the beginning of September, and the Republican National Committee had $40.5 million.
All in all, Politico reported, Clinton is "walking into the final stretch of this 2016 presidential contest with as much cash at her disposal as any White House contender in history." So, what exactly is Clinton going to do with all that money? Politico reported it will be a "last-second ad and organizing blitz" like "none before."
