Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton,
has a clear advantage over Republican Donald Trump in the money she has
to spend in the final days of the US presidential election, campaign
documents show.
Trump sought to narrow
the gap by sending 10 million dollars of his own money to his campaign
on Friday morning, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed
campaign advisers.
Clinton’s campaign had
62.4 million dollars of cash on hand as of Oct. 19, while Trump’s
campaign had just 16 million dollars, according to new documents filed
with the Federal Elections Commission.
Clinton’s
campaign had raised 52.8 million dollars during the first two and a
half weeks of October, and Trump had taken in 30.5 million dollars, the
filings showed.
Those
figures include only funds that went directly to the campaigns not
those raised by Clinton or Trump for other party candidates or for
outside groups that aid in their campaign.
Trump plans to use his personal contribution towards television advertising in crucial states.
