Clinton schedules slew of donor events
Hillary Clinton has more than two dozen scheduled donor events over the coming weeks, as her campaign ramps up its fundraising efforts.
Politico reports she has at least 26 events over the next month, including stops in states she has yet to visit as a candidate, such as Illinois, Indiana and Massachusetts.
Starting Wednesday, Clinton heads to New Mexico, as well as Dallas and San Antonio for events to raise money, including one hosted by former U.S. Ambassador to Spain Edward Romero, per the report.

Clinton will then attend events in Bethesda, Md.; Washington, D.C.; Boston and East Greenwich, R.I., before attending her first campaign rally June 13 in New York.
One of the highest-profile trips will be a swing through the Los Angeles area in mid-June, featuring an event with actor Tobey Maguire.
Last month, Clinton touted the support of Beyoncé, after the pop mega star attended one of a trio of $2,700-per-person New York fundraisers for Clinton.
Her campaign hopes to raise $100 million this year and around $1 billion overall for the primaries and general election.
So far, two opponents — Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley — have entered the 2016 Democratic presidential race.
