At least 76 members of Congress have more cash on hand than Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Trump began June with $1.3 million on hand, more than $40 million less than Hillary Clinton.
When Trump’s campaign finances were released late Monday, many commented that his paltry level of cash on hand was similar to a mid-level congressional campaign.
Looking at Federal Election Commission data on the Center for Responsive Politics website, either 76 or 77 members of the House of Representatives have more campaign cash on hand than Trump. That starts with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who has $7.7 million on hand.
Other notable members of the House with more cash on hand than Trump include Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., Rep. Joe Heck, R-Nev., Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., and Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., has the 76th-most cash on hand, with $1,298,081, compared to Trump’s $1,289,508.
