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.
