WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former US president donald trumpTrump’s election campaign and the Republican National Committee said Saturday they raised more than $76 million in April, more than half coming from small donors.
The monthly fundraising surpassed the $65.6 million raised in March by Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, and the RNC.
“With half of the funds raised coming from small dollar donors, it is clear that our base is energized. The Republican Party is united and voters across the country are ready to SHOOT Joe Biden and elect Donald J. Trump,” Trump campaign senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a statement.
Democrat Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has routinely outperformed Trump’s in fundraising ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
Saturday’s announcement came as Trump and the RNC were hosting a retreat in Florida for high-profile donors and politicians, including vice presidential candidates.
The event was expected to help bolster Trump’s finances, which have been drained by legal fees, and reassure donors about the state of the campaign, with Trump currently spending most of his time in a Manhattan courtroom on his criminal trial. during a silent process. cash payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
