Hillary Clinton Raised $68.5 Million In June

WASHINGTON -- Hillary Clinton raised more than $68.5 million for her campaign and the Democratic Party in June, according to a news release from her campaign.

The total includes $40.5 million raised for the Clinton campaign and another $28 million split between the Democratic National Committee and dozens of state parties. These sums are by far the highest monthly fundraising totals for the campaign so far this election cycle, which is no doubt due to Clinton having become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in June. The total is almost identical to the amount Obama raised in June 2012. The campaign enters July with $44 million in cash on hand.
