Both President Trump and the RNC have just raised a huge amount of money for 2020, out-raising Obama and the DNC for the same period in 2011:
THE HILL – President Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced Tuesday they had raised $105 million in the second quarter, a huge haul that is greater than what President Obama raised over a similar period in 2011.
The two entities reported a combined total of $100 million cash on hand, and raised more money online in the second quarter than in the entire first half of 2018, according to a campaign press release.
Trump and his committees raked in $54 million, while the RNC pulled in $51 million. It’s unclear from the release how many donors pledged money or how big their donations were.
Obama’s re-election campaign raised $47 million over the same period in 2011, while the Democratic National Committee took in $38 million.
The fundraising was attributed largely to TV and digital advertising, as well as other campaigns surrounding the 2020 election.
$105 million is a ton of money. It wouldn’t surprise me if they collectively reach a billion by next year’s general election.
But just as much as we need Trump to win, the RNC needs to help Republicans win back the House and bolster our majority in the Senate. Clearly what we have now isn’t working.
In related news, here’s a few tweets from Trump this morning:
People are fleeing New York like never before. If they own a business, they are twice as likely to flee. And if they are a victim of harassment by the A.G. of the state, like what they are doing to our great NRA, which I think will move quickly to Texas, where they are loved…..

…Texas will defend them & indemnify them against political harassment by New York State and Governor Cuomo. So many people are leaving New York for Texas and Florida that it is totally under siege. First New York taxes you too high, then they sue you, just to complete the job

As most people are aware, according to the Polls, I won EVERY debate, including the three with Crooked Hillary Clinton, despite the fact that in the first debate, they modulated the sound on me, and got caught. This crew looks somewhat easier than Crooked, but you never know?

The Economy is the BEST IT HAS EVER BEEN! Even much of the Fake News is giving me credit for that!
