Clinton campaign hits 1 million donors

Over one million people have donated to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

“I’m told the number just ticked over: As of a few minutes ago, 1,000,000 people have pitched in to be a part of this campaign. Thank you,” Clinton, the Democratic front-runner tweeted Friday afternoon.

“I’m incredibly grateful that people are giving what they can afford – 94 % of donations are $100 or under,” she added.

{mosads}Both Clinton and her Dem rival, Bernie Sanders, have sought to play up contributions from small donors.

Sanders has tried to tie Clinton to Wall Street, claiming he doesn’t accept money from “millionaires and billionaires.” He has solicited an average of $27 from more than 5.7 million individual contributions.
