Hillary Clinton’s campaign raised more than $154 million in September, marking its best fundraising month, according to a statement released Saturday.
Hillary for America raised about $84 million, while about $70 million was raised for the Democratic National Committee and state parties through the Hillary Victory Fund and the Hillary Action Fund, according to the statement.
Clinton’s campaign began September with $59 million cash on hand, while her fundraising committees had a combined $91 million. The average donation to Clinton’s campaign in September was $56 and more than 900,000 people donated to the campaign that month.
“Millions of Americans are supporting this campaign because they know that Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who has the temperament to be commander in chief and who will fight to make the economy work for everyone,” Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook said in a statement.
The Democratic presidential nominee raised $143 million in August.
“With Donald Trump promising to dump an additional $50 million of his own money into the campaign and right-wing billionaires pledging millions more, we must continue to step up in order to have the resources we need to mobilize millions of voters across the country,” Mook said.
