President Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee raised $105 million in the second quarter of 2019, beating President Barack Obama’s fundraising efforts by tens of millions during the same point in his reelection campaign.
Trump raised $54 million and the RNC brought in $51 million, the campaign said Tuesday. The two have a combined $100 million cash on hand and have raised more money online in the second quarter than the first half of 2018.
The haul was a “massive fundraising success,” Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale said.
“No Democrat candidate can match this level of enthusiasm,” he said in a statement.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the “record-breaking fundraising” has allowed the committee “to identify troves of new supporters online and continue investing in our unprecedented field program.”
Obama and the Democratic National Committee raised more than $85 million during the same three months in 2011.
