WASHINGTON - Floridians have given three times as much to Democrat Hillary Clinton as they have to Republican Donald Trump , the latest campaign finance figures show.
Of the $40.5 million Sunshine State donors have shelled out to all presidential campaigns so far, Clinton has gotten one-third: $13.3 million.
Trump has received about $4 million, less than the amount raised in-state by either of Trump’s two former GOP rivals — former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ($6.6 million) and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio ($5.5 million), according to Federal Election Commission records.
It’s not a surprise. Clinton is a prolific fundraiser with deep-pocketed support in Florida. Trump made little effort during the primary to solicit contributions, touting his independence from special interests he said couldn’t buy him.
