Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y) presidential campaign, said Thursday that the former first lady is raising an average of $1 million per day online this month. The longtime Clinton supporter tried to defuse stories indicating that the campaign is in trouble. McAuliffe noted that the delegate count remains close and predicted big wins in Ohio and Texas, where voters will go to the polls March 4, as well as Pennsylvania, which holds its primary April 22. “At the end of this process … if you look at where Hillary Clinton will have won — California, Texas, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey — she’s winning big states,” McAuliffe said on NBC’s “Today Show.” “And these states, I will make the argument, are critical for the Democrats to win the general election this November.” The campaign chairman added that he is more confident than ever that Clinton would become the Democratic nominee. |
