Wednesday morning, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign announced some eye-opening fundraising totals for the month of July.
While not as big as Hillary Clinton’s $90 million haul, Trump’s digital and direct-mail operations still brought in some impressive numbers. Working in conjunction with the RNC, they brought in approximately $64 million for the month.
The campaign announced the good news in a statement released Wednesday morning to the media:
“Last month we continued our $2 million matching program from Mr. Trump bringing his overall contributions to the campaign in excess of $56 million. His contributions for the month far surpass the FEC required reimbursements to his related entities, i.e., airplane, Trump properties and the like. The Campaign and both Joint Fundraising Committees also have very strong cash on hand numbers totaling approximately $74 million ($37 million for DJTFP, $37 million for TMAGA/TV).
The results from this month show the enthusiastic movement the campaign has created since we started our online fundraising efforts in June. The campaign very much appreciates the broad-based support, and will work hard to achieve victory in November and Make America Great Again.”
The campaign, in conjunction with the RNC, also hosted 20 fundraising events throughout the country for Trump Victory, raising over $16 million. The campaign continues to work with the RNC to support its important operations for the Republican Party, and elect Republicans down the ballot this November.
Quoting the campaign’s finance chairman, Steve Mnuchin, the Trump camp said it expects the fundraising success to continue throughout the remainder of the 2016 presidential race. The goal is to attract more “small-dollar contributions from passionate supporters across the country.”
“We are extremely proud of our 69 percent growth in small-dollar donations, which shows the broad-based support of over one million donors across America,” Mnuchin said. “Our volunteers and contributors are clearly committed to electing Donald J. Trump as president in November.”
