Romney Bests Obama in May Fundraising

HeadlineJun 08, 2012

On the campaign trail, new figures show Republican candidate Mitt Romney vastly out-raised President Obama in donations last month. Romney took in more than $76 million, nearly 30 percent more than Obama’s haul of around $60 million. Seven percent of Romney’s donors accounted for $64 million of his total. The figures for both parties do not include the numbers raised by super PACs backing the candidates, which can take in unlimited amounts under the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling.
