Hillary Raised $22 Million In April
Hillary spokesperson Howard Wolfson confirms that she raised $22 million last month.
Obama raised over $31 million, putting him nearly $10 million ahead of her. Interestingly, that's actually a smaller spread than in March and February: Obama outraised her by around $20 million in both months.
This is probably due to the fact that Obama donors know he's basically got the race sewed up. Even though his $31 million is an extraordinary pull, it's dwarfed by his huge haul in each of the previous two months.
Meanwhile, Hillary's numbers have pretty much held steady, albeit at a lower level.
Late Update: Keep in mind that this total is supposed to include the $10 million she raised in the 24 hours after her Pennsylvania victory on April 22.
Late Late Update: Some of you have asked whether this includes money Hillary lent her own campaign. It's a good question. She lent her campaign $5 million on April 1st; the rest of her loan came in May. We're trying to determine whether the $22 million includes the loan.
Late Late Late Update: Wolfson confirms that the $22 million does not include the loan.
