Hillary Clinton raised more than $40 million in overall contributions last month, an increase of more than $5 million from her April fundraising figures, according to her campaign.

Of that sum, $27 million went to her campaign (Hillary for America), while the remaining $13.5 million went to the Democratic National Committee and states parties.


According to the campaign, Hillary for America now has $42 million on hand as Clinton enters the final stretch of the primary season. June 7 will be the last big day, with voting in California, New Jersey, New Mexico and elsewhere.

"Thanks to the continued support of more than 1.3 million people across the country, we have the resources we need to run a winning general election campaign and build on the smart investments we made during the primary," Campaign Manager Robby Mook said in a press release detailing the numbers.

With her May haul, Clinton has raised a total of $240 million this primary season; $62 million of that has gone to the DNC and state parties — as Mook highlighted in the release.

"Hillary Clinton remains focused on ensuring that she and Democrats up and down the ballot are able to mobilize millions of voters and win in November," he said.

In April, Clinton’s campaign directly received $25.1 million, compared with $26.9 million raised by Sanders, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. Her campaign also raised an additional $9.5 million for various Democratic Party committees.
