Biden Outraised Trump in August by $154 Million

President Donald Trump’s campaign lost a crucial fundraising battle in August to Democratic nominee Joe Biden, this time by a whopping $154 million.

The campaign announced its figures on Wednesday saying that the campaign and the Republican National Committee brought in $210 million during August. But that figure is dwarfed by Biden and the Democratic National Committee, who collected $364.5 million in the same period.

In a statement, the Trump campaign said that they received a massive cash influx during the Republican convention and that they brought in $76 million over a four-day period. They also said that August was their largest fundraising month on record.

Trump Campaign manager 👤Bill Stepien said, “Both campaigns are raising massive amounts of money, but have very different priorities about how to spend it. In addition to advertising, President Trump’s campaign has invested heavily in a muscular field operation and ground game that will turn out our voters, while the Biden campaign is waging almost exclusively an air war. We like our strategy better.”

Trump beat Biden in fundraising in July but the gap between those figures was much smaller — Trump and the RNC brought in $165 million while Biden and the DNC brought in $140 million.
