Hillary Clinton got a boost from mega-donors Haim Saban and David E. Shaw as the main super PAC supporting her transitions to the showdown with Donald Trump.

Univision chairman Haim Saban and his wife, Cheryl, gave a combined $3 million to Priorities USA Action in April, according to the super PAC's latest report to the Federal Election Commission. Alex Soros, the son of Clinton's billionaire benefactor George Soros, gave $1 million, as did Slim-Fast founder S. Daniel Abraham. Shaw, the New York investor, contributed $750,000 in April, and Jay and Mary Pritzker (of the Hyatt fortune) gave a combined $900,000.


While the super PAC raised a total of $8.6 million, it also burned through $6.6 million on ads, research and consulting, including $37,000 on digital ads against Trump. That's less than the $11.6 million spent in March.

The group said in March it would stop spending on the primary and focus on attacking Trump. This week it unveiled a new ad campaign against the reality TV star.

The super PAC ended April with $46.7 million on hand, the most so far this cycle.
