President Trump and Republicans pulled in a combined $210 million last month. That could've set a one-month fundraising record — if Joe Biden and Democrats hadn't raised about $150 million more than that.
"If we needed any more, I'd put it up personally, like I did in the primaries last time," Trump told reporters. He spent $66 million to fund his campaign in 2016.
With mere weeks until Election Day, the fundraising picture is notable: An incumbent whose campaign was once considered a financial juggernaut appears to trail the challenger.But in its announcement on Wednesday, Republicans touted the president's grassroots support. "Both campaigns are raising massive amounts of money, but have very different priorities about how to spend it," Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement."In addition to advertising, President Trump's campaign has invested heavily in a muscular field operation and ground game that will turn out our voters, while the Biden campaign is waging almost exclusively an air war. We like our strategy better.
In their respective announcements, neither side said how much cash it has on hand for the election's stretch run. We'll get more details on Sept. 20, which is the next filing deadline for Federal Election Commission
