Republican nominee Donald Trump\u2019s campaign said it raised $138.7 million in July \u2014 a tumultuous month in the campaign which saw Vice President Kamala Harris emerge as his Democratic rival.<\/p>\n
The total tops the $112 million he raised in June for his campaign, the Republican National Committee and state parties. Trump, who has been relying on a lean campaign operation, entered August with $327 million cash on hand, up from $285 million a month before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris has yet to release fundraising figures for July. She raised $200 million in the week after President Joe Biden ended his candidacy and endorsed her. Democrats have led the money race for most of the campaign, but Trump overtook Biden earlier this summer as the president saw donations freeze after a calamitous debate performance in June.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese numbers reflect continued momentum with donors at every level and provide the resources for the final 96 days until victory November 5th,\u201d the Trump campaign said in a statement Thursday.<\/p>\n
Trump and Harris are required to file monthly fundraising data with the Federal Election Commission by Aug. 20.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s fundraising surged ahead of Biden\u2019s in the second quarter, erasing what had once been a massive advantage for the president.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris\u2019 emergence has forced Trump to revamp his campaign strategy. His operation is now spending millions on television in a bid to define her.<\/p>\n
