Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee raised $210 million in August,
falling $154 million short of Joe Bidens haul over the same period.
Biden and the Democratic National Committee previously announced raising a stunning $365 million last month, a record-shattering total that Trump failed to match. Neither campaign has yet released their cash-on-hand totals, but last months fundraising disparity increases Bidens chances of closing Trumps once-formidable cash advantage.
Trumps campaign touted that August was its largest online fundraising month, bringing in $76 million over its four-day national convention. But
Bidens eye-popping cash haul coincided with the Democratic National Convention and his selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate. Harris, a prolific fundraiser herself, helped Biden dip into pockets of money that were less enthusiastic about his candidacy. In the two days following her announcement as the vice presidential nominee, the Biden campaign raised $48 million.
