Donald Trump's 2020 campaign raised $61.7 million in April, bringing the total haul for this election cycle to over $742 million.
The Republican National Committee announced on Monday that President Donald Trump's re-election campaign has raised over $742 million this election cycle, $288 million more than the former President Barack Obama's re-election campaign had at the same point.
"While day-to-day life may have slowed this past month, enthusiasm and support for this president has not," RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement Monday,"With their time, resources and ultimately their vote, Americans across the county continue to put their faith in President Trump." Although donations to the Trump campaign has almost matched the initial, record-breaking $750 million raised during Obama's 2008 campaign, there is still some way to go before their efforts reach the $1072.6 million raised during Obama's second push in 2012. Obama's re-election campaign saw the most donations in the final six months leading up to the 2012 election, raising roughly $622.7 million, approximately 58 percent, of its election cycle total.
Back in 2012, Jim Messina Obama's campaign manager pointed out the importance of small-dollar donations."The most important thing isn't the dollar total but the number of people who pitched in to own a piece of this campaign," he said.
