President Donald Trump raised more money than Joe Biden in July, after falling behind his Democratic rival for two straight months.
Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee reported that they raised $165 million last month — an amount they said eclipsed any single month in all of 2016. July was the largest online fundraising event so far, the campaign said.
Biden’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, meanwhile, reported $140 million in July. The overwhelming majority of donations — 97 percent — were at the grassroots level, with the average contribution coming in at $34.77, the campaign said.
