A leading fundraiser for ­Hillary Clinton says her supporters will rush to back Barack Obama once he finally wins the Democratic presidential nomination and he could raise as much as $500m to spend on the election campaign.

Mr Obama has raised about $240m to date, thanks in part to an internet campaign that has attracted individual donations from more than 1.5m people.

But Noah Mamet, a Democratic party consultant and fundraiser who has organised high-profile events in Los Angeles for Mrs Clinton, told the Financial Times that Mr Obama’s finances would be boosted by Mrs Clinton’s backers, when he wins the nomination.

“Almost all donors will support Obama,” he said, adding that Mr Obama’s online campaign had yet to realise its full potential. “Eighty per cent of people who have given money to the Obama campaign haven’t come close to giving him the maximum amount.”
