Trump raises $51 million for campaign and GOP allies
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump says he raised $51 million for his campaign and allied Republicans in recent weeks — a dramatic uptick from his May numbers but less than likely Democratic presidential opponent Hillary Clinton’s June haul.
Trump previewed his latest fundraising numbers Tuesday night on Twitter by writing, “Raised a lot of money for the Republican Party. There will be a big gasp when the figures are announced in the morning. Lots of support! Win.”
Clinton raised almost $70 million in June for her campaign and Democratic partners, her campaign announced last week, an amount that included about $40 million that went directly into her campaign coffers.
In a release, Trump says his campaign raised $26 million online in the month of June, a small portion of which will go to the RNC, per a fundraising agreement. Additionally, Trump and the RNC raised $25 million during 22 events in June and the final week of May, the release said.
