The Facts

  • The Republican National Committee (RNC) and former Pres. Donald Trump's campaign Wednesday announced they've raised $65.6M in the month of March, taking their total cash in hand to $93.1M.

  • This comes after the RNC and the Trump campaign raised $21.6M in February. The two groups merged last month after the former president became the presumptive GOP nominee for November's presidential election.


The Spin

Republican narrative

Despite the deep state's best attempts to stop Trump, his campaign is only getting stronger. These fundraising statistics are staggering, and it's no surprise this comes following Trump's recent changes in the party's leadership and direction. Trump is moving closer and closer to a White House return.

Democratic narrative

Biden has a clear fundraising advantage that will lead him to victory. This will allow the president to project his message further than the Trump campaign, including to disillusioned former Trump voters, and defeat a deeply divided Republican Party at the polls in November.
