The nearly $33 million that Clinton has on hand comes after two large fundraising hauls, including $28 million raised in the third quarter of this year. They are funds she will spend on organizing, advertising and outreach in the primary states, and if she wins the Democratic nomination, the general election. “Thanks to the support of all of our donors, we are on track to hit our goal of $100 million during the primary, which will set us up to reach more voters, organize them, and make Hillary Clinton the Democratic nominee in 2016.” said Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook. Despite Clinton’s sizable amount of on-hand cash, she is closely challenged by rival Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has raised huge amounts of grassroots dollars and has $27.1 million in the bank. Sanders’ haul is a testament to the uncomfortably close nature of the year’s primary contest for the Clinton campaign, as her challenger has had much greater success attracting small donors. Sanders in the third quarter raised $20.2 million in donations under $200, while Clinton raised just $5.2 million from donations under $200, and instead relied on bigger-dollar contributions. Clinton’s significant savings, however, will give her campaign some breathing room as it heads into tough challenges in February in Iowa and New Hampshire, where Sanders has risen quickly in polls. **Read More:** [_Jeb Bush Raises $13.4 Million in Third Quarter_](http://time.com/4075666/jeb-bush-fundraising-third-quarter/) ## Transcript You know, I'm not sittin' here some little woman standing here by my man like Tammy Wynette. I'm sittin' here because I love him, and I respect him. Now is our chance to beat the historical odds, and give the American people the health security they need. If there is one message that echoes forth from this. Let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights once and for all. The great story here for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it is this vast right- wing conspiracy that has been conspiring. Against my husband since the day he announced for president. I would be happy to, when you give me the signed letters. Well, right here. Right here. When you give me. Right here. Sign it right now. We'll shake. We'll shake on this, Ray. No, no, I want your signature, cause I think that everybody wants to see you signing something that you said you were for. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country. I just don't wanna see us fall backwards. Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. The battle to stop Al Qaeda and its affiliates. Does not end with one death. What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. I took the unprecedented step of asking that the state department make all my work- related emails, [ MUSIC ] Public for everyone to see.
