Clinton campaign has five times more cash on hand than Sanders
The Sanders campaign had less than $6m (£4.1m) in its war chest at the start of May, according to new Federal Election Commission filings, compared to $30m in the Clinton coffers.
The rivals fundraising was on roughly equal footing last month, with each raising more than $25m. But the Vermont senator spent almost $39m to Clintons $24m, the reports showed.
This year, Sanders average monthly spend was more than $40m, underlining how quickly he could blow through the cash he had on hand at the beginning of May.
