APNewsBreak: Trump campaign to report $30 million haul
By ZEKE MILLER
April 14, 2019
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trumps reelection campaign is set to report that it raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined, according to figures it provided to The Associated Press.
The haul brings the campaigns cash on hand to $40.8 million, an unprecedented war chest for an incumbent president this early in a campaign.
The Trump campaign said nearly 99% of its donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26.
Trumps fundraising ability was matched by the Republican National Committee, which brought in $45.8 million in the first quarter its best non-election year total. Combined, the pro-Trump effort is reporting $82 million in the bank, with $40.8 million belonging to the campaign alone.

Payroll must be pretty hefty to cover all of the WH transfers.

(19,984 posts)10. "edging out his top two Democratic rivals
combined"
Why stop at two, AP? His opposition currently consists of 18-20 rivals, not just the "top two." So how much did he bring in compared to the total of all 18-20 combined?
Poor reporting.
