Large Debts Will Soon Come Due for Hillary Rodham Clinton

Senator Clinton may have to spend the summer months going hat in hand to refill her own bank account.

The former first lady has loaned her presidential campaign more than $11.4 million to date, and she has only a few months to pay herself back, while her campaign will have much longer to deal with the nearly $9.5 million it owes vendors and political consultants.

Under a provision of the 2002 campaign finance law spearheaded by senators McCain and Feingold, candidates for federal office must repay their personal loans by the date of the election or forfeit all but $250,000. The date of election in the presidential primary campaign is considered the date when the party officially chooses its nominee, which for Democrats will be at the national convention during the final week of August.

Clinton aides continued to insist that she will remain in the race even while confirming that she is $20 million in debt. "The voters are going to decide this," senior adviser Howard Wolfson said on "Fox News Sunday," acknowledging the $20 million figure. "There is no reason for her not to continue this process." Wolfson said he has seen "no evidence of her interest" in pursuing the second-place spot on the Democratic ticket, contrary to rumors that she is staying in the race to leverage a bid for the vice presidential nomination.
