Hillary Clinton's campaign summoned its major fundraisers on a conference call Wednesday to quickly mobilize their networks for general-election cash, asking them to match what they raised for the primaries by the end of this month, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
The plea, aimed at increasing Clinton's war chest to as much as $1.1 billion by the November election, was made by campaign manager Robby Mook and finance director Dennis Cheng in the call with bundlers, said the person, who discussed the call on condition of anonymity. The campaign has raised about $300 million this election cycle, almost all of which was earmarked to be spent in the primaries.
