Clinton is on track to raise more than $45 million in the April-June fundraising quarter, a Clinton campaign official said Wednesday. That would be more than any other primary candidate's first quarter in history. At $41.9 million during its first quarter in 2011, President Barack Obama's campaign held the previous record.
The Clinton campaign official said that 91% of the donations came from people giving $100 or less. Clinton, on Twitter, posted that she was "especially proud" of that figure.
Clinton has been on a fundraising blitz lately, and her campaign said it is focusing on ramping up a program featuring donors who contribute $2,700 themselves and raise $27,000 overall.
Clinton posted a handwritten note to supporters, thanking them for "all you've done."
"Thank you so much for being part of this campaign," Clinton wrote. "I'm grateful for all you've done and excited for what comes next.
"When the road ahead is tough, you need the best people by your side. That's why I'm thankful for you."
