Kerry raises more money than Bush

President George W Bush’s re- election campaign raised less money than Democrat John Kerry for the fourth consecutive month as Kerry worked to boost his fundraising ahead of his party’s national convention next week.

Mr Bush raised $13.1m (€10.59m) in June, his campaign said in an e-mailed statement.

Senator Kerry’s campaign said he raised more than $32m (€25.87m) last month. At the end of June, Mr Bush had $64.3 million in cash compared with more than $34 million for Mr Kerry.
