Trump campaign reports $80 million raised in July

"Donald Trump raised $80 million in July between his campaign and joint fundraising efforts with the Republican National Committee and state parties, the Republican nominee's campaign announced Wednesday, lagging Hillary Clinton in overall contributions in the last month by about $10 million.
Of the $80 million raised, Trump's campaign said in a press release that approximately $64 million came through the campaign's digital and direct mail operations with the RNC. Trump previously told supporters on Monday in Ohio that the campaign had raised $35.8 million directly and suggested that the totals for the joint fundraising agreements were still being tabulated at the time.

“We are extremely proud of our 69% growth in small dollar donations which shows the broad based support of over one million donors across America," Trump campaign finance chairman Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. "Our volunteers and contributors are clearly committed to electing Donald J. Trump as President in November.”
