Trump Campaign Says It Raised $51 Million in June

“And he says I’m the biggest thing he’s ever seen in the history of politics”.

“And I’ll tell you – someday I’ll tell you the real story of CNN”, Trump said. Trump’s team deleted the post and prompted House Speaker Paul Ryan to say that Trump should “clean up” his social media account. “Lots of support! Win”.

“Trump personally contributed $3.8 million to the campaign this month which brings total contributions to $55 million”, the statement said. Trump raised another $25 million at fundraising events, in conjunction with the Republican National Committee.

Team Trump said that more than 400,000 supporters contributed, with almost all – 94% – giving less than $200. His campaign has struggled to attract top bundlers, and he is expected to trail Clinton by at least $500 million in total dollars raised.

Clinton’s remarks were part of a growing effort by her campaign to tear down Trump’s business reputation, which Democrats believe is overhyped and based more on his ability to attract publicity than actual private sector skills.

According toThe Washington Post, Trump’s campaign made an exceptional call to solicit money on late June.

In the meantime, he has been “road testing” potential running mates.

After self-funding his primary campaign, Trump had no fundraising operation to speak of. His withdrawal takes away an important party establishment figure as Trump tries to broaden his appeal with plans to visit Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives on Capitol Hill on Thursday.

“Newt has been my friend for a long time”, Trump said at a July 6 Cincinnati, Ohio, campaign rally with Gingrich in attendance, according to Fox News. “We’re thinking about actually there are two of them that are under consideration”, he said to a question.

A fairly vocal supporter of Trump, Corker has not shied away from criticizing some of Trump’s bellicose rhetoric.

The two men were a study in contrasts, with Corker standing at least a foot shorter than the billionaire businessman and speaking in slow, deliberate phrases instead of Trump’s rapid-fire braggadocio.

Gingrich appeared far more comfortable onstage Wednesday night in Cincinnati, delivering an eight-minute introduction of Trump and then beaming offstage when the presumptive nominee pledged that, if he was elected, “Newt Gingrich would have a role in the government in one form or another”.

Minutes later, he added, “If it’s Newt, nobody’s going to beat us in a debate, that’s for sure”.

By choosing to defend the tweet, Trump has self-destructed and turned attention away from what Republicans would rather be talking about, Clinton’s emails, and back to his own behavior. Kasich also said he won’t address delegates, something atypical for a governor whose home state is hosting his party’s convention. Trump really is a populist candidate in his finances, for better and for worse.
