The new numbers bring the Clinton’s race total to a historical $130 million, with Sanders at $105 million. Campaigning across the northeastern state on Monday with her husband and daughter, she worked to flip Sanders’ favoured critique against her by claiming that he, too, had taken money from Wall Street – if only indirectly.

On the Republican side, 34 percent of GOP registered voters in NY side with Donald Trump, a Manhattan resident, ahead of Sens. Those candidates who fare poorly could see donations dry up and face pressure to withdraw from the race.
Bush opted to take on Trump, and chided other candidates for not piling on. Bush, who has blasted Trump for using eminent domain in business deals, called Trump a “loser”, while the billionaire businessman called Bush an “embarrassment to his family”.
In the wake of the Iowa caucuses last week, Republican Sen.
Mr Trump, speaking at a rally in New Hampshire, added: “He goes around saying, ‘I’m the only one with the courage to go after Trump.’ What courage is it?” In other words, if you believe Emerson’s data, Jeb Bush actually lost a few points of support since late January while Rubio and Cruz each gained three. “I think it’s a very sad situation that’s taking place”.
The enmity was mutual.
But Trump went out of his way to go after Bush on Monday.
Former President Bill Clinton, who earlier accused Sanders’ supporters of waging “profane” and “sexist” attacks on his wife on the Internet, took a softer tone Monday, though he displayed frustration at Sanders’ success with young voters.

They are also challenged by a trio of governors seeking to stop Rubio’s rise after his uneven debate performance over the weekend. Ted Cruz, who had bested him in Iowa, but against Jeb Bush as well. His gain seemed to be at Rubio’s expense.
If Christie’s aggressive attacks on Rubio result in his own standing tumbling, it could benefit Bush, the former governor of Florida, and Kasich, the current governor of Ohio.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor Christie, thanks for you time this morning.
No Republican has won the presidential nomination without winning either the Iowa caucuses or the New Hampshire primary since the 1970s, but it would not technically be impossible.
Senator Sanders is said to have a hometown advantage in New Hampshire, which neighbours his home state of Vermont.
Trump, who was to campaign later Sunday, continued to insist in a CNN appearance that he came in first in Iowa, losing only because representatives of the Cruz campaign spread false rumors that Ben Carson was dropping out. Rivals mocked the 44-year-old senator for robotically repeating talking points about President Obama and said his performance reflected a lack of experience. We don’t need to repeat the same mistake.
The Democratic race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders swerved in a new direction after a pair of prominent Clinton supporters railed against female voters who are backing Sanders despite the prospect of electing the first female president.
Sanders is coming off a fundraising month that superseded Clinton’s.
