Pro-Trump effort raises over USD 60M in January
Pro-Trump groups raised more than USD 60 million in January and have more than USD 200 million on hand for this year's general election, shattering fundraising records on the path toward a goal of raising USD 1 billion this cycle.
The Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump's campaign have raised more than USD 525 million since the start of 2019 together with two joint-fundraising committees.
The RNC and the Trump campaign provided the figures to The Associated Press.
The January haul coincided with most of the Senate's impeachment trial, which resulted in the Republican president's acquittal earlier this month.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said, "We already have 500,000 volunteers trained and activated, and this record-breaking support is helping us grow our grassroots army even more."
"With President Trump's accomplishments, our massive data and ground operations and our strong fundraising numbers," Parscale said, "this campaign is going to be unstoppable in 2020."
