Trump Campaign and R.N.C. Raised $131 Million in June, a New High

President Trump on Wednesday announced by far his biggest cash haul of the 2020 campaign in June, bringing in $131 million between his campaign and the Republican National Committee, showing that his money machine continues to hum even as he has slipped in the polls.

The monthly haul represented a spike of $57 million more than Mr. Trump had raised in May, which was the first month that former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had outraised the president.

The Trump campaign said that it now had $295 million in the bank, a formidable financial advantage entering the summer months, and that it had raised nearly $950 million over the last two years.

Mr. Biden has not announced his fund-raising total for June, but people familiar with the figures said his sum in June would be higher than Mr. Trump’s. He raised $80.8 million in May.

Mr. Trump has spent aggressively as well. The figures released by his campaign show that he spent about $100 million in June.

Mr. Trump had a tumultuous June, which began with the nationwide protests in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police. It included the forceful and widely criticized clearing of peaceful protesters outside the White House for a photo op; the release of a scalding book by Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser John R. Bolton; the ousting of the United State attorney for the Southern District of New York; Mr. Trump’s first rally since the coronavirus pandemic shut down the country, in Tulsa, Okla., which failed to fill the arena; and a series of tweets from the president, including one over the weekend that was later deleted in which a supporter shouted “white power,” that renewed accusations of racism.

Coronavirus cases also began to rise in states that had reopened their economies more fully, including across the South and the Sun Belt.

None of that slowed the flow of money. Nor did multiple national polls showing Mr. Trump trailing by double digits, including a New York Times/Siena College survey that had Mr. Biden at 50 percent and Mr. Trump at 36 percent.

Mr. Trump’s campaign said it had set a single-day record for online fund-raising on his birthday, June 14, collecting $14 million. The full $131 million sum came as Mr. Trump held only two fund-raising events for the month.

The Trump campaign did not break down how much of the money was raised online or came from large donations — his joint committee with the R.N.C. can receive checks of more than $500,000 — but it said the outpouring was “largely fueled by the robust digital, mail and online donor base” of the president.

The total is more than Mr. Trump and the R.N.C. ever raised in a single month in 2016.

“The Trump campaign’s monumental June fund-raising haul proves that people are voting with their wallets, and that enthusiasm behind President Trump’s re-election is only growing,” said Brad Parscale, Mr. Trump’s campaign manager.

In recent days, Mr. Trump’s campaign reserved about $95 million in television ads for the fall, beginning after Labor Day in half a dozen states: Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. He also began buying airtime in Michigan on Wednesday.

Fund-raising figures are not required to be publicly released until mid-July. Mr. Trump’s campaign released its numbers on July 1 in what appeared to be a political show of force.
