Former President Donald Trump raised so much in May he erased President Joe Biden’s longstanding cash advantage, according to the most recent campaign finance filings with the Federal Election Commission.
According to the filings, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee raised $141 million in May. A “significant surge” came in the last two days of the month, after Trump was convicted by a New York City jury on falsifying business records, according to Politico.
And those figures are just from large-dollar donations, and do not yet include unitemized donations of less than $200, and joint fundraising contributions that have not yet been transferred.
At the end of May, Trump had $116.6 million in the bank, compared to $91.6 million for Biden. In total, Trump’s campaign and the RNC reported just over $170 million cash on hand, overtaking Biden and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) with just under $157 million, according to Politico.
