President Trump and Republicans pulled in a combined $210 million last month. That could've set a one-month fundraising record — if Joe Biden and Democrats hadn't raised about $150 million more than that.

"If we needed any more, I'd put it up personally, like I did in the primaries last time," Trump told reporters. He spent $66 million to fund his campaign in 2016.

With mere weeks until Election Day, the fundraising picture is notable: An incumbent whose campaign was once considered a financial juggernaut appears to trail the challenger.But in its announcement on Wednesday, Republicans touted the president's grassroots support. "Both campaigns are raising massive amounts of money, but have very different priorities about how to spend it," Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement."In addition to advertising, President Trump's campaign has invested heavily in a muscular field operation and ground game that will turn out our voters, while the Biden campaign is waging almost exclusively an air war. We like our strategy better.

In their respective announcements, neither side said how much cash it has on hand for the election's stretch run. We'll get more details on Sept. 20, which is the next filing deadline for Federal Election Commission

You do realize 200 people contributing $10 is far more valuable than 2 people contributing $1,000 right? Nice headline though

Apparently the Proud Boys and Militias can't financially support Trump.

He deserves nothing more

Dems got that sweet blm money

Hillary raised a TON more in donations and how did that work out in 2016 and her previous campaign?

That’s because the big donors are starting to get spooked.

BidenHarrisLandslide2020

There’s absolutely no amount of money that realDonaldTrump and the GOP could raise and spend that will ever change my views. realDonaldTrump is the antichrist and he must be removed immediately.

I’m guessing you guys don’t consider using BLM to fundraise for ActBlue as something even remotely ethical?

Trump started raising money 14 days after election he should have millions over any candidate but alas he doesn’t manage other people’s money well.

Use just 1 million of that obscene $ to tell all of our HC workers that we have a 100% successful prophylaxis. Simultaneous trials in Buenos Aires PROVED IT by using controls about half of whom got COVID. Do not let them suffer for you and I in vain!

I don't believe a word Democrats and the mainstream media say. NPR (National Propaganda Radio).

Yeah easy to do when you label it as BLM donations. No one except the satanic and the Soros Elitest would donate

Clinton raised a lot of money, buying Fake Russian Dossier, lies in getting FISA warrants. In fact did Obama & Biden know about all these lies to get FISA warrants on thousands of Americans & massive unmasking of Americans? Biden was involved in a meeting in framing Flynn.

Doesn't matter Republicans have more money more of them work for a living.

Hillary out spent Trump more than 2-1. Trump has the enthusiasm and turn out that Biden does not.. I sleep like a baby..

Money in politics is good again folks.

China, Soro’s And corporations that plan on making money from China , want Trump out. Biden wouldn’t have picked Harris, unless he was thinking about Socialism. So what’s he telling Michigan and Pennsylvania is a lie or he’s lied to the Cortez, Pelosi’s and the rest of the left.

His people are bailing on him....

Does actBlue deception have anything to do with that? I would say...Yes. Deceptive MoFo's. Thats OK. DemocratsAreCorrupt Trump2020

BLM Donations Going to and Funding Joe Biden! Racist Rich Old White Guy! The Radical Left say Trump is racist, but they cant offer any proof, while with Biden we have over 40 years of proof. At what point will people wake da fck up?

Wasted money for the Dems. They should bank it

This is disgusting. We face a pandemic, unprecedented unemployment, mass closing of businesses, and these two political parties are fighting to gain what pennies Americans have left to waste on smear ads and “the campaign”. When will we get it, we are funding the beasts.

light that money on fire for all the good it will do anyone at all

March 1 – 1 Dead April 1 – 6,460 Dead May 1 – 67,044 Dead June 1 – 109,509 Dead July 1 - 131,013 Dead Aug 1 - 156,764 Dead Sept 9 - 193,119 Dead Key coronavirus forecast predicts over 410,000 total U.S. deaths by Jan. 1: ‘The worst is yet to come’

While I appreciate this, I still can’t get over how can anyone could donate to Trump. It’s mind boggling.

If only money were votes.

What are the demonrats doing with all that $$ I havent seen anything worthwhile

😮

How much from corporate donors & which ones I guess they are ok with TrumpLies & TrumpKnew! Republicans

It’s said that money is a metric we use to base our politicians popularity on...Remove money from politics

When you are funneling money through blm what do you expect?

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊2020! VOTE

If Joe Biden had done significantly worse, why do I think would be darkly hinting about the debilitating effect of big/dark money in politics. Quite simply you can't be trusted to do anything deep than read the farm report.

Mean time millions of people do not know what they will have to eat tonight because they can not afford to buy food, millions more are sick and have no insurance, We have homeless begging for a few dollars to eat, realDonaldTrump & JoeBiden should focus on helping those in need

but where is all that money gone? they are broke!! they blow almost a billion dollars on god know what...now trump is also claiming he will put a 100 mill of his own money... is he taking credit for someone else's money? it doesn't surprise me... milking the victimcard

But why should that matter when trump and the gop minions can have the taxpayers pay all their personal expenses?

Besides confessing to what is essentially the mass murder of the people he is supposed to lead, Trump proved he does not know how to read. He clearly has not read a Bob Woodward book, nor has he read an article, comment, or review of a Bob Woodward book.

BLM fundraising thru ActBlue brought in a boatload for Democrats. But nothing for real blacks impacted by BLMAntifaTerroristsThugs

How many Dems are getting donation solicitations from Don the Spawn?

BLM money Laundering.

But $200 million of that went up Trump and Jr's noses.

Dangerous times are approaching as the crooks want to take the country and win. Trump should be removed from the election. Is it any legal chance of doing that without having to impeach him again?

Biden has Hollywood backing him, just like Hillary did. Hollywood has money.

No one believes that. He can't even get a crowd to attend an event. Can't blame everything on an invisible virus anymore.

.realDonaldTrump selling copies of his tax returns to raise funds for his campaign.

Trump will still claim he holds the record

so winning president is how much money you have .? I wonder if Lincoln did

What a f***ing waste of money.

I wanna see the White House overturned!

It sucks the Dems are wasting all this money

Did you see 15,000 plus peaceful protesters for Trump Last night in North Carolina?
