Former President Donald Trump raised $130 million last month, most of it from small donations, his campaign said Wednesday.
The August fundraising totals leave the 78-year-old Trump with $295 million in cash with two months to go until Election Day.
“A united Republican Party and a growing number of cross-party independents and disaffected Democrats give the Trump-Vance team momentum as the race approaches its final stages,” Brian Hughes, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, said in a statement.
“August's fundraising numbers reflect that movement, and bringing President Trump's America First movement back to the White House could reverse Harris and Biden's abject failure,” he added.
The campaign noted that 98% of donations in August were under $200, with an average donation of $56 coming from “ordinary Americans.”
Trump's August fundraising total was just below the $138.7 million his campaign raised in July.
Republican candidates' campaign coffers are also lower than the $327 million they reported at the end of July, as campaign activities intensify in the final stages of the 2024 presidential election.
The Trump campaign and outside groups supporting the former president Outspent by Vice President Kamala Harris Between July 22 and Aug. 25, election results were announced in four key battleground states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina, according to ad tracking company Ad Impact and NPR.
The Harris campaign has not yet released its August fundraising figures.
Harris campaign chair Jen O'Malley Dillon Announced last week Harris has raised $540 million since replacing Biden, 81, as the Democratic Party's top candidate in July, including $82 million at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this month.
“This is the highest number ever recorded for a presidential election of this duration,” she said in the memo.
Harris raised a staggering $310 million for her campaign and endorsement committees in July, more than double Trump's total for the same month.
