45th President Donald Trump raised over $160 million in the month of September, with most of it being brought in by small-dollar donations, the Trump campaign announced Wednesday.
The September fundraising total leaves Trump with $283 million in cash just a little over a month out from Election Day.
“President Trump continues to inspire millions of everyday Americans to join his America First movement and help fuel the campaign with their hard-earned money,” Trump campaign Senior Advisor Brian Hughes said in a statement.
Almost 2.5 million donations came in under $200 that were made to the former president last month, which totaled 96% of total contributions, according to the Trump team. On average, the donation amount was $60.
Additionally, Trump’s team said its September totals “exceeded internal benchmarks.”
“These supporters have allowed us to bank the funds we need as we move into the campaign’s final weeks,” Hughes added. “Our momentum continues to grow from supporters and donors across the country as we enter the homestretch toward victory.”
The latest haul from September was an increase from the $130 million the campaign raised in August.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign have outspent Trump in seven battleground states since President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign, according to Ad Impact.
Ad Impact also found that Harris and Pro-Harris groups have reserved more future airtime in the states that include Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin and Nevada.
In total, the Harris campaign has $301 million worth of future campaign ads reserved in those states, with Trump securing $194 million in air time.
The Harris campaign has not yet released its September fundraising numbers.
