Billionaire Donald Trump participates on Wednesday a new reception for fundraising in New York in an attempt to decrease the financial disadvantage compared to Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
The Republican candidate for the White House organized an event at an Italian restaurant, Cipriani, with the participation of major Republican donors, and with entry costing $ 25,000 per person, according to the Wall Street Journal ($ 2,700 will be for Donald Trump campaign, rest to the Republican Party).
Trump disputed the presidential campaign with tens of millions of dollars less than its organized opponent, Hillary Clinton, according to official financial reports.
The Republican candidate has raised only $ 1.3 million, according to the document submitted to the Federal Election Commission.
This sum represents an unprecedented low level in recent history for a presidential candidate weight.
The Clinton campaign - supported by major donors - had more than 42 million dollars in the bank until May 31, according to the report.
Its political action committee, known as Priorities USA, has over 52 million.
Your financial report reinforces the perception that his campaign is weak compared with that of Clinton, who plans to spend more than $ 100 million in an avalanche of advertisements on TV.
Trump - that does not arouse the interest of many traditional Republican donors and had to invest in its campaign two million dollars last month - has not done any advertising since secured his Republican nomination last month.
Hillary's staff of 700 people, in contrast to Trump, 70 assistants.
