Trump's re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee raised $210 million in August, Fox News reported on Wednesday. The amount was far less than the record-breaking $364.5 million raised in August by former Vice President Joe Biden
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump's re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee announced on Wednesday that they raised a combined $210 million in August, falling far short of matching Democratic challenger Joe Biden's record-breaking haul of $364.5 million for the month.
Trump is trailing former Vice President Biden in nationwide opinion polls as voters consistently say they are dissatisfied with Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. As well as drawing donations during the Democratic Party's virtual convention during the month, Biden's nomination of California Senator Kamala Harris as his vice presidential nominee generated enthusiasm. Harris is the first Black woman and the first South Asian American on a major party's U.S. presidential ticket.
