Donald Trump's campaign says it hauled in $111 million in June


Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign announced on Tuesday that its candidate raised less than President Joe Biden in the month of June, but more in the second quarter.

Biden's campaign announced it hauled in $127 million for June, including $38 million that was raised directly after the first presidential debate last week. It also claimed the campaign entered July with $240 in cash on hand, according to CBS News, and raised $264 in the second quarter from April through June.

Trump's campaign said although it raised $111.8 million in the month of June, it out-raised Biden in April and May for a quarterly total of $331 million. The campaign also entered July with more than Biden, at $284.9 million compared to the president's $240 million.

“President Trump’s campaign fundraising operation is thriving day after day and month after month. Winning this quarter brought us a cash on hand advantage, which is punctuated by a Biden burn rate that grows while yielding no tangible results for them," Trump campaign co-managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a statement.

"Despite Biden spending nearly $120 million on tv, cable and radio alone, polling and voter enthusiasm continue to grow for President Trump," they continued. "This fundraising momentum is likely to grow even more as we head into a world-class convention and see the Democrats continue their circular firing squad in the aftermath of Biden’s debate collapse.”

The surge in Trump's coffers during the second quarter comes after his campaign raked in millions after the former president was convicted on all charges in his Manhattan hush money case in May.
