Donald Trump has his billions, but Hillary Clinton has her billionaires. While the Koch brothers plan to stay out of the presidential race, Whitman is going one further by stating she will endorse and help fund Clinton. The Clinton campaign – which only recently put away a primary challenge from Bernie Sanders, who boasted of his small-dollar donations – stresses that the bulk of the nominee’s support is grass-roots. Within the past year, according to a review by FoxNews.com, a total of 24 billionaires have donated more than $42.5 million to two Clinton campaign arms and three allied super PACs. As the candidates formally enter the general election season after their conventions, the former secretary of state’s wealthiest backers are pouring money into political groups opposing Trump.
