Trump’s reelection campaign tells AP it has raised $30 million in the past 3 months, more than the top 2 Democrats combined.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign is set to report that it raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined, according to figures it provided to The Associated Press.
Trump’s fundraising ability was matched by the Republican National Committee, which brought in $45.8 million in the first quarter — its best non-election year total. Combined, the pro-Trump effort is reporting $82 million in the bank, with $40.8 million belonging to the campaign alone. Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said Trump “is in a vastly stronger position at this point than any previous incumbent president running for re-election, and only continues to build momentum.”
Bernie Sanders topped the Democratic field in the first quarter, raising slightly more than $18 million, followed by Kamala Harris with $12 million and Beto O’Rourke with $9.4 million. Trump is reporting a haul of $30.3 million.
