Donald Trump’s campaign has announced that they raised $130 million in August.

The campaign also stated that its August fundraising total helped them reach $295 million in cash on hand entering the final two months of the general election campaign.
The Trump campaign also said that 98% of the donations that the campaign received in the month of August were less than $200, averaging out to around $56.
However, this is still significantly short of Kamala Harris’s $540 million in campaign donations since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race, according to Harris campaign Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon.
“With Republicans united and a growing number of Independents and disaffected Democrats crossing partisan lines, the Trump-Vance campaign has momentum for the final stretch of the race,” senior Trump campaign adviser Brian Hughes said in a statement.
“These fundraising numbers from August are a reflection of that movement and will propel President Trump’s America First movement back to the White House so we can undo the terrible failures of Harris and Biden,” Hughes added.
Over the past several months, Trump’s campaign had seen a spike of financial support and it even briefly overtook Biden’s campaign due to tremendous fundraising sparked by the former president’s conviction in New York in late May. Nevertheless, with Biden dropping out and Kamala Harris becoming the new candidate, Democrats have begun pushing their fundraising efforts more than ever before.
On Tuesday, the Harris campaign said that they were sending almost $25 million to Democrat committees to invest in “down ballot candidates,” using its significant fundraising haul to try and secure majorities in Congress.
