The president’s fundraising far outpaces each of the Democratic contenders who seek to oust him from office.
By Toluse Olorunnipa and Toluse Olorunnipa White House reporter Email Bio Follow Michelle Ye Hee Lee Michelle Ye Hee Lee National political enterprise and accountability reporter covering money and influence in politics Email Bio Follow April 15 at 10:52 AM President Trump’s reelection campaign raised more than $30 million in the first three months of the year, far outpacing each of the Democratic contenders who seek to oust him from office, the campaign said in a statement Monday.
Unlike past presidents, who waited until after the midterms to raise money for their reelection campaigns, Trump began collecting contributions for his 2020 bid shortly after his election. “Our prodigious fundraising is further proof of President Trump’s clear record of accomplishment on behalf of the American people,” campaign manager Brad Parscale said in the statement. “The President is in a vastly stronger position at this point than any previous incumbent president running for re-election, and only continues to build momentum.”
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal fundraising figures, also said Trump’s reelection bid had raised more than $1 million online within a 24-hour span multiple times this year. Trump’s State of the Union speech, and other days when the president highlighted border security issues, brought in loads of online contributions from small-dollar donors, the official said.
