The campaign saw a 23 percent increase in donations from August.
Former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, together with the Republican Party, raised $160 million in donations for September, with the majority of the donations coming from small donors, the Trump–Vance campaign announced on Oct. 1.
The tally marks a 23 percent increase from the $130 million the campaign and its authorized committees raised in August, “ensuring the resources needed” for the remaining weeks of the race, the campaign said in a statement.
Trump’s official campaign said it ended September with $283 million in cash on hand, with just five weeks to go until the presidential election.
That figure is down slightly from the $295 million it had in its war chest in August.
“The Trump–Vance campaign and authorized committees once again exceeded internal benchmarks and demonstrated huge support from grassroots donations,” the statement reads.
Approximately 96 percent of the donations—nearly 2.5 million donations—made were under $200, the campaign said.
