Hillary Clinton raised almost $70 million in June, an eye-popping sum for one month.

Not all of the funds raised will go to her presidential run. Politico reports that $40.5 million will go to her campaign, while the other $28 million will go to the Democratic National Committee and state parties.

The funds going to the DNC and state parties will go through the Hillary Action Fund and the Hillary Victory Fund.

Clinton currently has $44 million in her coffers. Her campaign has raised a total of $288 million this cycle. Clinton has also raised approximately $90 million for the joint fundraising agreements with the Democratic Party, and she enjoys a wide advantage over presumed Republican general election opponent Donald Trump.

Clinton's opponent in the Democratic primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) did not have many large fundraisers like Clinton, instead focusing on pulling in small-dollar donors from ordinary supporters. Sanders has raised over $209 million, but with an average donation of about $27.
