Washington: Republican presidential nominee and former president Donald Trump has said that his campaign raised USD 139 million in July and has USD 327 million cash on hand.
“There has never been anything like the MAGA Movement. We raised $139 Million Dollars in July alone. We now have a whopping $327 Million Cash On Hand.” Trump said on Truth Social, his social media platform.
“Spectacular support from Great American Patriots who are donating to our Campaign for President of the United States, and helping out in many other ways. Much work to be done, but I will always keep fighting for YOU. Our Country is failing, but we will turn it around, quickly, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!,” he said on Thursday.
The month’s fundraising numbers also follow the CNN debate between Trump and President Biden, whose poor performance led many Democrats to call on him to step aside from the race. Biden announced his decision to withdraw on July 21 and later endorsed Vice President Harris for the nomination.
Trump’s latest fundraising totals come as Harris’s campaign has gained momentum in its first two weeks.
Harris’s campaign said it raised $200 million in just the first week of her campaign as Democrats rallied behind her and enthusiasm grew among voters. Her campaign also said it signed up more than 170,000 volunteers in the first week.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s national polling average shows the former president with about a 1-point lead over Harris. Other national polls have shown Harris closing the gap between her and Trump since she kick-started her campaign last month.
