Trump raises $51 million in June for campaign and GOP

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. The campaign said in a press release that more than 400,000 people made donations – 94 percent of which were for less than $200 – and that Trump contributed another $3.8 million.

Trump additionally gave $3.8 million of his own money to the campaign, bringing the total haul for June to about $55 million.

“We just started our fundraising efforts in the last week of May and we are extremely pleased with the broad-based support”, said Steven Mnuchin, the campaign’s finance chairman.

Trump said he had been underwhelmed as he watched Tuesday afternoon’s joint inaugural campaign rally up the road in Charlotte, N.C., with Obama (“it’s like a carnival act”) and Hillary Clinton (“how boring was that speech?”).

Trump’s campaign did not disclose how much money he spent in June and how much cash still was available for the battle against Clinton as the two candidates head into their nominating conventions this month.

The Clinton campaign claimed that Donald Trump’s post on Twitter over the weekend was anti-Semitic.

The son of the GOP presidential candidate refuted the notion that the campaign is not able to raise the dollars needed to compete against Clinton. That brings his personal campaign spending to around $50 million. And it suggests Trump has the ability to quickly inject large sums of money into his campaign coffers by tapping into the fervor of his supporters. Great America PAC, the most active pro-Trump group so far, has not aired any ads on broadcast or national cable TV, but has run ads on satellite and local cable TV, which Kantar does not track.

The release detailed sources of Trump’s money: $25 million from wealthy donors, $22 million from small donors and online givers, and almost $4 million from Trump himself.

Corker said he’d spent about eight hours with Trump on Tuesday, meeting with several of his children and aides in NY. These events took place “throughout the country for Trump Victory, with contributions exceeding $25 million (which includes the last week of May and June)”.
