Trump Campaign Raises $138.7 Million in July Amid Assassination Attempt, Trails Harris's $310 Million

Aug 2, 2024, 09:18 AM

Former President Donald Trump's campaign and authorized committees announced they raised $138.7 million in July, bringing their cash on hand to $327 million. This fundraising effort occurred during a tumultuous month that included the Republican National Convention and an assassination attempt on Trump. Despite the substantial haul, Trump's fundraising fell short compared to his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, who raised a record $310 million in July. Harris's campaign benefitted significantly from a surge in donations following President Biden's decision to drop out of the race, with over $200 million raised in the first week of her candidacy. Trump's campaign noted this increase as a major boost heading into the final 96-days until Election Day.
