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 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 of cash on hand as of October 19, while Trump’s campaign had just $16 million, according to new documents filed with the Federal Elections Commission.
Clinton’s campaign had raised $52.8 million during the first two and a half weeks of October, and Trump had taken in $30.5 million, 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.
