Hillary has $33M cash on hand
Hillary Clinton has $33 million in cash on hand for her presidential bid, her campaign reported Thursday night, more than any other candidate in the race for the White House.
The campaign revised its third quarter donation totals to $29.45 million in a release, after previously estimating that she raised more than $28 million at the close of September.
The newly filed campaign finance report also shows that she spent more than $25.7 million over the three-month span from July through September, a figure that also dwarfs candidates on both sides of the aisle and more than twice that of her chief Democratic challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), over the same period.

“Thanks to the support of all of our donors, we are on track to hit our goal of $100 million during the primary, which will set us up to reach more voters, organize them, and make Hillary Clinton the Democratic nominee in 2016.”
Clinton’s record-breaking fundraising and aggressive spending continues a trend seen in her campaign’s previous quarterly report. The Clinton campaign raised $47.5 million in the second quarter — which covered April 1 to June 30 — a record amount of primary dollars for a candidate at that point in the election cycle.
But in that same second quarter, the Clinton team reported spending far more than any other candidate in order to build a nationwide campaign infrastructure. Clinton’s campaign spent $18.7 million, far exceeding the next highest second quarter spender, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R), who spent $8.8 million.
Sanders spent just $2.9 million and raised $13.6 million in the last quarter.
