Some Big Obama Donors Slow to Warm to Clinton
Clinton has already spent more than $129 million on the primary and may be looking to deep-pocketed donors to step up for a general-election run.

Hillary Clinton has repeatedly said that she's better positioned than her rival Democrat Bernie Sanders to carry on President Barack Obama's legacy. But some of Obama's biggest financial supporters have yet to buy in.
At least 33 of the 145 political donors who gave $25,000 or more in 2012 to Priorities USA, the super-PAC that backed Obama's re-election and now supports Clinton's bid, have yet to contribute to either Clinton's campaign or affiliated outside committees, according to a Bloomberg analysis of the most recently available Federal Election Commission records.
