Obama Money in May

Barack Obama raised $21.9 million during the month of May down from the previous month.

Obama’s campaign has more than $43.1 million on hand, of which $33.3 million can be used during primary season, with approximately $304,000 in debt.

In comparison, John McCain had $32 million cash on hand at the end of May reporting period. However, the Republican Party has significantly more money in the bank to help their candidates than does the Democratic Party.

Obviously this is an area where Hillary Clinton can be very helpful. Like Obama, she outraised McCain during the primary season.

Clinton and her fundraisers will meet with Obama next week and the two senators will campaign together for the first time.
