Former President Donald Trump raised nearly $139 million last month, a massive fundraising haul in itself — but likely not enough to surpass Vice President Kamala Harris’ eye-popping July total.
The 78-year-old Republican nominee and his authorized committees raked in $138.7 million in July and had $327 million in cash on hand, his campaign announced Thursday.
“These numbers reflect continued momentum with donors at every level and provide the resources for the final 96 days until victory November 5th,” the Trump campaign said in a statement.
Trump’s July haul came during a chaotic month that saw the former president survive an assassination attempt, formally receive the GOP nomination at the Republican National Convention and have to face a new opponent after President Biden dropped out of the race.
His July sum eclipsed his $111.8 million June total but fell short of the $141 million in contributions he received in May, the same month he was found guilty in the Manhattan hush-money case.
The Harris campaign has not announced its July totals, but they are expected to easily surpass Trump’s.
Harris, 59, quickly locked up support from top Democrats after the 81-year-old president ended his re-election bid and endorsed her in a historically unprecedented move.
Last week, her campaign claimed that the vice president enjoyed a mind-boggling $200 million fundraising bonanza in the days after Biden’s July 21 withdrawal.
The quickly rebranded Harris for President campaign said that 66% of those donations came from first-time contributors during the 2024 cycle.
Harris’ haul does not include funds the vice president inherited from Biden’s campaign and committee accounts, which the Trump campaign has asked the Federal Election Commission to look into, arguing that the transfer is the “largest campaign finance violation in American history.”
